Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

Nope, not unless you let go of the grip. I think (hope) we are talking about different things. A circle has 360 degrees, regardless of its size. If you have to turn it 1/2 the way (for example) for full throttle, that's 180 degrees of twist, regardless of how big the circle is. If you keep your your hands from slipping on the outside of the throttle, your wrist will twist the same, regardless of how big the grip is. Try this, even just imaginarily: Draw a dot on the grip pointing straight back towards you, parallel to the ground. Now grab the grip so that the heel of your hand and your forearm is pointed directly at that dot. Now turn the grip so that the point is pointed directly at the ground. Notice the new angle of your wrist. Now do the same thing with a ball point pen. Note that the amount of twist in your wrist is exactly the same. The ANGLE of the bend of your wrist will be 45 degrees, regardless of how big or small the grip is. Now if you were to open your hand and make it flat, and move the grip by "rubbing" the grip and having it turn under your flat hand without bending your wrist at all, then yes, the size or circumference of the grip will change how far your hand has to travel to turn the grip the same amount of degrees, based upon it's circumference. Hope that helps explain what I was referring to.

I'm sorry but you're wrong.

"A circle has 360 degrees, regardless of its size. If you have to turn it 1/2 the way (for example) for full throttle, that's 180 degrees of twist, regardless of how big the circle is."

To illustrate, take the size of the circle to the extreme. Imagine that the grip diameter is the size of the sun and use your example of full throttle with a 1/2 turn. You turn the circumference of the sun 180 degrees, right? How many millions of miles is that?

Now, the center of the sun is also rotating 180 degrees, right? Does a point near the center turn millions of miles or something less?

Can that be recalibrated with BUDS?
I'm considering buying the interface and software. Hopefully it allows tuning all engine parameters. ��

You’ve nailed the distinction yourself. It TURNS 180 degrees. It TRAVELS much less. That’s what I’m referring to. “Twisting” and “turning” are measured in degrees of angle, not in distance.

I taught trigonometry for 35 years and your explanation here is what I would have said in my classroom. That's also why you can read a centercap logo on a wheel at 30 mph, but not the tire size on the sidewall. Those linear velocities (in feet per second) are quite different while their rotational velocities (in degrees per second) are the same.

BUDS allows you to read codes and reset certain sensors when replaced, but it will not allow you to reset engine parameters in a meaningful way. You need to get an ECU reflash done if you need to change those for performance etc.?? I don't own BUDS, so I could be wrong, but the service tech told me that was the case!?
