Can't find where in the factory workshop manual to read about how to adjust throttle free play. Put a throttle tamer on my bike and now have considerably more freeplay. So much more freeplay that I suspect I'll need to adjust it down by the throttle body--not just up top by the twist grip/throttle tube. I don't wanna start breaking things...

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Where in the 2013 Husky Te310R manual is it?

Oh I see it now. Boy, how'd I miss that? Looks like you ONLY adjust the freeplay down at the throttle body. Nowhere does it mention adjusting throttle freeplay up by the hand throttle. Where the cables enter the twist grip/throttle housing it doesn't appear to have adjustability like on other bikes I've had. Am I right that you don't "fine-tune" the adjustment up at the twist grip like on other bikes?

on my '14 x-lite, the domino throttle housing has no adjustment. I believe that domino's are used on a few bikes too (KTM?).
I do not know what the freeplay is, but if you go with an 1/8" [3mm] on the throttle cable, and a frikken LOT on the idle cable (aka "push" cable. wtf?)... I'm thinking 5-8mm, you probably won't go wrong.
LMK if these numbers are way off.
On my son's 511, the throttle response is way too tight- every bump varies the rpm's going down a smooth road. hate it. I don't know if it's too tight of a throttle cable or something about the FI or even the fly-by-wire butterfly. but it sux.

There's no adjustment on the throttle end - it's all at the injection body end.
Trenchcoat85 - the Throttle Tamer works a treat at lower speeds/throttle openings, your son may benefit from fitting one, although they aren't cheap! The on/off at small throttle openings is one of the (few) downsides of FI

I'll mention it to him... but, weirdly, it's a non-problem for him. But it bugs me when I ride his bike. Also, When I do wheelies on his 511, it does NOT catch me by surprise (although I'm adjusting the throttle constantly- 'cause I can't rub the fender on the ground while doing wheelies) so it must only happen at low & consistent throttle openings.
And my '14 310r doesn't do it either. I wonder if the TC449 has the problem.
