For me, I started noticing arm pump after a short time where I didn't have it before. This was due to having to squeeze the grip harder in order to twist the throttle.

Did you get to ride it yet??
The pull is definitely easier, but more importantly didn't change over 1.5 hrs of riding. I also noticed I was gripping harder than needed many times. Easy to correct now since I don't need a kung-fu grip to tisr theottle.
One other note is that the ODI lock on grip throttle tube doesn't seem to be as smooth as the Domino/oem style on initial fiddling. Will review again as their installation as much better than glue/wire/etc.
I went with the longer throttle cable as well so you can route it between the bars and number plate.

Make sure your housing and tube are all clean and not dragging on the handlebar. If the pull is still too stiff, you can cut a few coils off the carb spring and stretch it a little longer. Make sure you know what you are doing and don't create a safety hazard doing this.

Is pinched anywhere it will cause drag, lube the cable, as stated make sure the throttle tube isn’t against the end of the bar.
I have a 21 ktm 250sx and the throttle pull has gotten really stiff in the last 20 hours or so. I currently have 65 hours on the bike, cable & throttle housing. I've lubed the cable and cleaned the housing multiple times and have replaced the tube twice; I've also checked the handlebars for wear. Nothing has resolved this issue.
I'm having a hard time determining my next steps. A new KTM throttle cable is $80. The Domino throttle assembly is $40, or do i jump straight to the G2 throttle assemble for $140?
Rockymountain atv has stock 16 cable and throttle assembly for about $85.
I went with the domino setup from the 16 and throttle cable on my 21 250sx. Much lighter pull than stock. I had the pwk on it all ready. So it wasn't the mikuni which was prefect shape or a misrouted cable.
The stock throttle housing sucks.
My 18 had a really stiff pull, bike had around 75hrs I think, after trying everything but cutting the slide spring, I replaced the cable…. And that was it… stock cable felt ok pulling on it but when I replaced it is felt smooth & easy again.
