Snatchy throttle: Solution?

Mine's got a little snatchy of late too.

One easy way around it is to rotate the throttle from the elbow rather than the wrist. Kinda extending the lever effect and allowing more control over small throttle inputs.

Free too and keeping me going till i get round to a proper tune-up.

Throttle Tamer is an interesting idea but possibly a sticking plaster? ... Having had her running very well in the past, i don't think we should put up with crappy low speed performance.

Hey up jb, i checked my bike's tps today- it was reading low at 90Mv.

Checked plugs too and they were bolloxed.

Once sorted the snatchiness disappeared completely, now feels lovely at lower speeds.

Having the bare minimum of slack in the throttle cables goes a long way towards making it work smoothly.

Those G2 Throttle Tamers really work better on a bike with a light crank and instant throttle response. Guzzi's have neither of those. People do use them on bikes like my Aprilia RXV 550, but that bike is a beast compared to a V11.
