Unknown or Other · at 3,000 miles · reported Nov 14, 2016
There is no gap between the bar end cap and the throttle grip. When temperatures are high or the heated grips are turned on the grips expand, as if the motorcycle has cruise control. The grips can also cause the throttle to stay wide open. The bike is a t-120 black which comes with heated grips standard. Attached are two images. One shows my bike with no gap between the end cap and grip; the other is a bike on a dealers showroom floor.
