Yesterday I rode over some bumpy sections, causing the bike to surge forward every time my hand rotated the twistgrip even slightly. On my older GS (and any bike with a cable throttle, really) the freeplay in the twistgrip actually prevents you from accelerating or revving accidentally while navigating rough terrain.

It's not nice having to force myself to keep the throttle closed. I realise that muscle memory will eventually eliminate this problem, but every time I ride another bike and then my LC again it's back.

Does anyone know of there is a way to set the ECU, or to adjust something on the twistgrip to allow for a few degrees of freeplay? Mine has none at all! Or, is it supposed to have some freeplay and mine just doesn't?
