    take a racketball and whenever your driving, or just sitting around on your *** squeeze it with your throttle hand and thumb. that will make it seem more sissy like.

    Be glad you didn't buy a YFZ. The FCR has a stronger spring... and for sure... someone would have to call the Waaaainbulance on you.

    i actually think my 450r throttle is really EASY compared to my old 250r with a pwk39mm carb. for some reason my old 250r always had a stiff throttle, but i just dealt with it...after riding alot you get used to it. after having that and going to the new 450 it was so much easier.
