Acceleration and Deceleration Jolt / Harshness
#4
Excessive cable slack will definitely make the throttle feel jerky, and the bike hard to ride smoothly. I like to have a tiny bit more than 1/8" slack at the circumference of the flange part of the grip, but the manual says up to 1/4".

It's the upper cable on the throttle, and you just need to slide the rubber boot away from the adjuster and nut, loosen the lock nut, and turn the adjuster out. Before you tighten everything up, let the bike idle and turn the steering slowly from left to right, making sure there is still freeplay in the throttle.
