The stock assembly for my Z1 seems to work fine. The throttle effort was pretty significant at first. Cleaning/lubing cables is important. Also, those Mikunis let you fool with the throttle return spring setting, unwind it to a different attachment point(dang near everything on these are adjustable -- great designs). This was really important for comfort on the street. For example: My throttle grip came unglued due to the twisting force required, never mind the wrist cramps.
