I've continued to have trouble with jerky pick up of throttle especially at lower speeds. This, combined with heavy throttle action has dampened my enthusiasm for FJR.
Dealer's view is that these are usual characteristics of the model however I've found info on FJR users forum which points to these being common complaints.
One suggestion is to fit G2 Throttle tamer from Ergonomics as this alters the length of cable being used when first opening throttle, therebye giving much more rider control. They have an interesting website showing how it works www.g2ergo.com
I'm thinking of going down this route first before considering Ian's suggestion of Power commander.
Has anyone else any experience of this system?

Havn't had use of the device myself but it gets good feed-back on my Ducati Forum to tame the too instant response (for some) of the V'twin so sounds like a cheaper initial idea to try.
As with Ian , I have had a good result with the Power Commander but they are best set up on a dyno so need to budget another £ 160-£ 200 for fitting/set-up and a ride to either Knockhill or the Black Isle.

Never seem to get this problem on the RT, I just engage "cruise control" and the speed is silky smooth whatever I set it to.
Keep the rubber on the road. Dan

Its easy solved Alistair buy a Honda CB1000.!!
I tested an FJR and it was not a problem on the test machine at Ecosse.
In the forums is the problem on all bikes or just some bikes?
Could it be a sticky or kinked throttle cable?

When I bought my Pan, another Pan rider and I found both our bikes had some throttle snatch. He fitted a Power Commander. I saved money and practised throttle control. I demonstrate this on training to show how severe it is if not used properly. GSXR also has a point a similar snatch if not used smoothly.

Before spending money, give me a shout to see if it can be sorted by some simple 'tuning' of throttle hand.

Thanks for the comments.
Keith , I'll be in touch

After further research and seeing lots of comments on FJR forum on this topic, I decided to follow the very detailed description (along with step by step photos) to reduce the tension on one of the three throttle return springs.
Managed to get this job done yesterday and went for test run. What a difference ! I can now feel when the throttle is engaging. It feels like a new bike and my enthusiasm is returning - so I have made arrangements to join the happy band heading off to Moffat on Friday!!
Sorry that today's planned meet up with Keith had to be cancelled - hopefully we can arrange another day.
