I bought my Griso used and the first thing I noticed was how out of whack the cable adjustment was.  Somewhere Pete posted a pretty simple adjustment procedure and it made a noticeable difference in ridability.

You could just take a pair of pliers, loosen the top cable adjuster, run it out to take up slop and have a nice ride home.

I'll give it a try!

Update: There was a good ⅜" of slack in the throttle cable. I will test it out tomorrow and report back. Thanks again for the replies!

Another update: Much better now! There is still a bit of on-off at low speeds, but it is much more manageable. I might still try a throttle tamer, however...
