I would try adjusting your throttle position, rotate it up (towards you)
Sounds like an ergonomics issue  ???

I got to thinking about it, so I moved the whole throttle about 1/2" away from the end of my grip. I'll see if that does the trick. I've been looking on ebay for a Honda throttle and one could be had for less then $20/shipped. I just couldn't find one that didn't say "Honda" on it. I'll keep mess'n with it. Part of the problem is I changed handlebars with a different pullback. ???

I hope the throttle adjustment works out for you, a Honda throttle robs 2.5 HP

Sweet Jesus, you mean I gotta buy more power if I do the switch? Well I guess I can take one for the team. :grin_nod:

Hey, If I lose 2.5 hp with the throttle mod, I can just remove the headlights and be all right! :lol:

Put the headlights on back, then when you turn them on, they will push you. :thumbs:
