    Hi Folks,
    I just installed an OEM heated grip kit on my 2020 Bud Ekins T120 since it didn't come standard. The install went smoothly and everything is tightened back up. The throttle seems to be extremely...slick. It still offers smooth resistance and returns to the closed position just fine but it just feels different. I rode it and there's no binding and I made sure that the throttle locating peg was in the proper place. Has anyone else done the install themselves and felt this? Is it just because it's a brand new lubricated throttle tube? It doesn't feel like anything is wrong, just different. Thanks.

    Like putting a taller tyre on, it's changed the "gearing" so to speak, you're controlling the same movement with a larger diameter grip.
