Fast idle / cold start mech

Yes, its a button that locks on 748/916 and I think the mechanism for it is in the throttle itself pushing the button moves the throttle a small amount and when you turn the throttle the button pops back out.

Its a lever like a choke on the S4 and you can control to a certain degree how much you want to open the throttles which can sometimes be a bit hit and miss. The lever is part of the switch gear housing so maybe its different switchgear you have?

Easiest would maybe to try and fit a 916 style throttle assembly.

I have a 916 throttle on my Monster, for this very reason however; it is single cable only so you need to remove the closer cable (if your bike has one?) and it has a much quicker action meaning a very quick throttle and, if you fit FCRs a very heavy throttle.

I improved things by fitting a 'throttle tamer' throttle tube that slows the action down (and lightens it a tad), meaning that although still quick it is not quite so silly...
