2020 Yamaha R6 throttle question

    I have a 2020 R6. The throttle has a slight bit of slack in it. My last bike didnt have this and seemed to be slightly easier to get on the gas smoother. How does one go about fixing this issue or is it even fixable?

    Thanks for any help.

    Ask in the tech section. Its an easy fix.

    Follow the throttle cables downstream from the throttle housing until you find the tension adjusters. Two 8mm wrenches and you can clean up the slop. You want just a little play.

    If you are racing my son liked how the Graves throttle tube rolled on the gas better that the stock R6, at least on the 2008-16 version.

    LOL we had two race bikes that were supposedly identical and it took me awhile to figure out the Graves R6 we bought felt better than the other R6 we purchased from Meen and gradually modified.

    After verifying all electronics were identical, It ended up being the throttle tube.
