Someone has probably fitted a stronger throttle opening spring to make sure it snaps back closed without the return cable being fitted. I don't have a return cable on one of my 550/4's and I had to change the spring a couple of times to get the correct tension for opening and to snap closed. I got there though and the throttle is now perfect for me.

Hi, I tried one of them on my GL1000, whilst it did lighten the clutch a little it reduced the throw considerably to the extent that when the engine was warm it would clunk into first gear and make finding neutral difficult, ended up removing it.

Mmm....I might hold back on the apico then and try fitting a new cable first...thanks for the info
