I went through the same thing on the wife's bike.  I serviced the assembly and "ruined it", at least I think I remember that was the way it was described.

wives can be a little less than appreciative at times...  


Yes we can.  My hubby serviced my throttle on my Laverda and made it so easy I didn't have that lag for cruise control anymore...  :(  He didn't understand why I didn't appreciate him loosening up my throttle when I wasn't complaining about it in the first place.  The Laverda doesn't have that nifty little throttle screw to hold the throttle open, so now I have to keep my hand on the grip at all times or suffer the consequences. (NOT Pretty!)  All we want is for you to be sure we want the effort before you go through it all and then don't feel appreciated!   :-*
