A Throttle Tamer will fix it. I put one on my bike before pulling the flies and it made the throttle transition very nice.
Coming from a Carb bike to an FI, the change in jerkiness is pronounced.
+1 on the Throttle Tamer. Not only does it help with throttle snatch but it's action is smoother becasue it has self-lubricating Delrin bushings inside.
See the pic below, the stocker is on the left.
How difficult to install?Easy - just a few minutes. Same as removing and reinstalling the stock throttle.

Has anyone put a Throttle Tamer on a 2010+ bike? Just curious what the case may be with the heated grips? I seem to recall reding somewhere that this may be an issue?
and if you could just shave down the cable guide slot to improve the stock one.

I have a 2010 with heated grips. I bought a Throttle Tamer but it was the wrong model - got confused with model numbers. Anyway, I examined the TT and thought to myself I can file a groove that would do the job just about as good as the TT. So I went to hardware store and found the right file and filed away. Jerkiness is mostly gone. Much, much better that stock!!!
I have no idea how to get the heated grips off the 2010 model. All suggestions posted on any 1400GTR forum must be for the unheated grips cause the instructions don't work for me.
many times it has been asked about the abrupt on-off throttle response from this bike, and among other solutions (including throttle tamer and such) it is always suggested that you should tighten the play on the gas cable. Well, to you all smart @sses out there, let me tell you something: you're right!!! I have been experiencing this since day one and I adjusted my right wrist accordingly and, for the most part, I've been able to keep it down, but it never stopped bothering me, and during the last 3 or 4 thousand km it got a bit worse, maybe because of the high temperatures in which I've been riding (100°F). Last week I did the 30.000 km service and the mechanic at my dealer (not a "stealer", because they are great: listen to me, charge me fairly and work professionally) specifically told me that it was a bit loose and adjusted it. Now it's not perfect, but it is much better.
There.
