Default Throttle grip - doesnt seem right to me

What do you think of the amount of play here?

Little sloppy....... 3 minute fix..... but leave enough slop to compensate for temperature differences.

loosen the housing and pull it away from the grip, it will put tension on the grip and take out the play. don't do it to much or it will stick

2 torx on the brake, 2 torx on the switch housing. Loosen just enough to slide the assembly towards the center. Tighten the torx. You're done.

Throw a bath towel doubled up on the tank, in case you drop something.

Is this on the 2012 RK? If so..... just drop by your dealer, and they will probably do it for you. Only takes a couple minutes.
