Title: Throttle dampening?
Post by: johnmowcop on July 10, 2019, 04:46:26 PM
A bit more advice please.

Not sure if this is possible 2011 CVO Ultra Road Glide. Throttle is fly by wire.

The roads in the UK are imported from a third world country, we give the third world country our peoples taxes, that third world country generally dislikes us beyond reason anyway so why bother, instead we should be using our money to repair our roads, provide health care etc. Politicians and civil servants, are'nt they great people.

While riding along our very bumpy and potholed roads my throttle hand is forced to continually momentarily partially close the throttle, being fuel injected this cuts fuel immediately and causes a snatching sensation to the drive train. Could be mistaken but I think if it was a cable throttle this effect would not be so pronounced.
Question is: is there a way of dampening this effect without "stiffening" the twist grip action, this would lose the self closing effect which I would prefer to keep.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

im no pro, but if you have a tuning device you can adjust TB blade speed/reaction time with some tuners, my 13 was real twitchy (how I describe it) and I told my tuner fellow, after he tuned it no more issue... hope that helps. and there is no way to adjust tension cause the fly by wire grip sensor has the return spring built inside it
