Before the chain I would think that a simple throttle cable adjustment would be in order.

Adjust the chain to the loosest end of the book stated specs in the proper manner.

I'll bet that between these two items you will cure your snatchy throttle.

If you or someone else adjusts your throttle make sure you check the front bars lock to lock with the engine running for over run before riding

I just had my bike serviced at 24K and am scheduled to install my first replacement chain and sprocket on Friday. (I will be installing a new throttle cable and Pazzo levers too.)

Having said that, I have recently noticed that my throttle is very abrupt (sensitive?), especially at low speeds (below 40 mph). Is this something that most likely will be addressed with the new chain and sprocket? If not, are there any suggestions I can give my mechanic when I take it in? Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. I have never had this problem before.
