Probably not. You need to feel the twist grip for movement that does nothing for the engine speed.....then you need to LOOK at the cables where they attach to the carb to see if it looks like there is any excess slack there.
BUT.....
If your bike keeps pulling more the more you twist the grip, up to a point where you can twist it a little more and nothing extra is forthcoming or it actually bogs a bit, then your throttle is probably opening as far as it can and adjustment of the cables won't help anything.
I think your problem is the wind resistance of your massive, manly chest. :biggrin:
