The throttle return spring resistance on my new R3T is as hard as my ST1300 was with four throttle bodies! I know Harley only has one throttle body, but I have to tell ya, Harley has it right. My hand never got tired and cramped riding my Harley. My ST1300 had my hand aching within 30 minutes, My R3T does the same thing. I now use my "Throttle rocker" on road trips. In the hills I take it off.

That's why I like the Throttlemeister throttle lock, it's like skips 50 cent throttle lock but twists to adjust the resistance. On long stretches I give a turn and let it hold the tension for me, I can still move the throttle just fine, it just doesn't wear my wrist out. It can be a little temperature sensitive however, on really hot days the grip expands a little and I have to adjust it a tad.

I have the opposite problem my throttle is so twitchy every bump in the road makes my wrist move and now with the gipro its really touchy so my throttlmeister is always on just a little .
