Guys,
FWIW, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a Lee Parks Total Control course here in Las Vegas last weekend and the "problem" with the throttle became readily apparent to me. One of the first exercises of the course is to learn very fine throttle control in order to NOT upset the grip of the tires. I had a hell of time going from idle to some amount of throttle, back down to idle and then on to more throttle. I did manage to figure out that when I kept my little finger on the bar end, it gave my hand a place to apply some friction to the throttle, helping to SLOW the transition from idle to some throttle and then back again. It did help get rid of that lash somewhat.
Later in the course while going around tight circles (trying to maintain body position, speed, lean angle) I kept the throttle just open enough that I missed that "flat spot", as any upset in the suspension would certainly have made for a bad day during these exercises.
