Subject: R25/OB's throttle lever's friction control?

When I had my R27/OB I found the Yamaha's throttle lever was rather jerky when moving it forward. On the base of the throttle lever there's a round side port covered with a rubber grommet that provides access to an adjustment screw affecting the friction for the lever's movement. I used this hoping to resolve the lever's jerky issue. I never was able to get the jerkiness resolved no matter how much I fiddled with the adjustment screw.

I'm now about to be the owner of an 2023 R25/OB that has the same Yamaha throttle lever and wonder if I'll have to contend with jerkiness movement in the throttle's lever. I've had chats with a recent 2022 R25/OB owner and was told the throttle's movement is smooth and had no jerkiness to it when being moved.

For others with the R25/OB, what is, and has been your experience in this regards.

Thanks... 🙂
 
2020 R23OB here. I would imagine our throttle levers are the same. Nice and smooth, no jerkiness at all. 😀
