Touchy Throttle

Touchy Throttle
Just bought a 2008 Sportster xl1200 C. Had an 04 before this one.
The throttle seems a bit sensitive in that minor road bumps or vibration causes a jurking motion in the bike. This occures while not accelerating at about any slow speed or gear.
I didn't experience this on the 2004. Is there an adjustment somewhere that might correct this?.
Thanks for your help.

bikes. At least that's my experience. The 08 1200 is injected isn't it?

Put a little slack in the throttle and throttle return cables. When turning the flats was the same amount on both adjuster. I'd go with no more than a 1/2 turn.
