Throttle return spring way too light.
I have only had my new RT-S a few days but one thing I am having a real problem with is the very light throttle. IE it takes very little pressure to move. A very light throttle return spring to overcome. Much lighter than the test drive RT I drive or my wife's Harley. Its so light that we are having trouble not jerking it with hitting minor bumps or turning a slow speed. Does anyone know if the spring tension is adjustable or how hard it would be to replace with a stiffer spring?
Similar experience as you...
Initially, thought my ST-L throttle was real sensitive as well. I routinely used to jerk off of a dead stop or into/out of corners. Given enough time you will get used to the sensitive throttle and ride accordingly. I have almost 4,000 miles on mine (Just got back from a 300 mile trip last Saturday) and am totally used to the throttle and no longer look like a NOOB taking off from the line. Yes, it is different from previous Spyders and 2-wheelers, but after getting used to it, it is a benefit, as you don't need as much muscle to throttle up to speed. Update us via this post in a month or so to let us know if you're settling into the throttle on your new Spyder...
No tweaking the throttle???
So - I rode my friends HD after taking the M3 course on a spyder. The spyder is touchy compared to HD. Can Am needs to take notice.
