I have about a 1/8th of a turn of throttle play. Is this normal and I'm just now noticing it? I can see a little being a good thing but this seems excessive.

It can be very easily adjusted to your liking. Look at the base of your throttle grip and you'll see the throttle cable and the adjuster. Screw out the adjuster to take some of the slack out or in to put it back.

You can adjust it, i like to have a little play in my throttle so i usually adjust it back to factory specs every 5000 miles or so.
