Has anyone notice some slop in the throttle of their bike? I went for ride today and just noticed the throttle seemed a bit more sloppy than normal, or is it my imagination?

I tightened mine up the other day. And I noticed that the adjusters are plastic and didn't seem to lock all that well. So I would deduce that they might vibrate loose after a while.

that reminds me when you make the adjustment start the bike and rotate the bars from lock to lock and make sure the rpms don't increase if they do put some play back in the line.

THis happened to mine, had to adjust the cable down by the throttle body to get rid of the slack, I have no more adjustment in that direction, fortunatly it's right on the money, hope it hold out for the season...
