My ’06 Yamaha FJR1300A and I have logged several thousand miles since new, and I’ve noticed it has what I would call a “touchy” throttle. This is most noticeable in traffic and when rolling on the throttle entering a turn. At first I dismissed it as being a combination of new bike glitches and my …
