Mike,

You can get a throttle mod, which basically uses the 916/996/998 throttle assembly, the advantages of this are two fold, one the action is a lot quicker, less angle to open the throttle fully, secondly the assembly is heavier, so requires more force to turn the throttle, not as light.

I rode my 999 for 30 miles before I decided I didn't like the throttle, impulse maybe? I had come from several 996/998 bikes. The downside is this mod isn't cheap as it's only using one cable rather than two, and requires quite a bit of work by someone in the know. JHP did mine and never had any issues since.
