I was reading reviews on the Kawasaki Z900RS last week & the common complaint/fault with the bike is the snatchy, on/off throttle on the earlier versions,cured by flashing the ECU.I'll have a demo on one in the spring & decide if I want to swap the Street Triple...

Re: Snatchy throttles
Not read the whole thread but you can have my 2 penneth anyway 
I had a Gen 1 990 Superduke which many people criticised for snatchy throttle.
I never had a problem with it... ever
However my previous bike was a KTM625 SMC which had got me into the habit of feathering the clutch on slow speed stuff.
Maybe it's worth giving that a go? I f you like the part apart from that one thing, it's go to be worth a shot?

Re: Snatchy throttles
I had a 990 SD and that was quite bad at low speeds but sort of ok most other places. I didn't get on with it though. It was better than the 1290 is that regard though.
