A good harness will help a bunch. Much of the throttle problem is from your body bouncing around. A good harness set and 30" tires will do the trick.
I agree the bouncy throttle has been an issue. Especially when your going slow though rough steep stuff. I do believe the learning curve helps and I think once the machine is broken in some it goes away some, or I've gotten use to it. Good input on here. I do like the idea of a cable adjustment in conjunction with a heavier spring. The foot support seems like an easy one as well. Good write up with good input. Thanks.

This pedal will take some getting used to. Test driving 3 different machines the Talon throttle got me when I crossed a small ditch, I had to look at my wife and say "that wasn't me". I'm sure I would get used to it, the other 2 machines were no issue.

It's controllable with a little time behind the wheel. If you're a utube kinda guy here's a video in the rocks and you can hear that I'm not having any jumpy throttle problems. I haven't done anything to the throttle, I just rest my foot against the tunnel which helps my keep my ankle from rocking (stock seat belt).
The highlight(?) is at 6:20.

The others you drove were belt drive probably . Talon hit the gas, IT GOES ! Belt drive , you hit the gas ,,,the belt tightens up and eventually you go .

I've been thinking about a heel stop made out of a busted piece of skid plate? That would be easy to clean around.
Really the best fix is a ThrottleMax . They work GREAT and if you are just flying you can flip it up and it's as if it wasn't there . If they don't have a Talon one in stock , the Pioneer 500 one they sell fits and works perfectly . After my first rock climbing trip I came home and popped the one off my Pioneer and put it on the Talon .

I'm a little wary ot the Throttle Maxx, that thing is dragging on the floor. Any debris on the floor, mud etc could hang it up. I know everyone will say it's been great and no problems and I hope it stays that way but it's not for me.

Yes but one I drove has some low gear throttle mapping which keeps throttle input very smooth in bumpy terrain.
Hey , no worries . Mine has been on the Talon for over a year and 2 years on the P5 with no issues . Another almost free fix is get a BIG thick sponge or the likes and attach to the under side of the gas pedal . Have a friend using this method and she likes it .

took throttle max off my p5 before trading it, fits talon fine with a little persuasion from a hammer. had it on for about a year. it does help--more with ergos than anything, still touchy as all hell. had it get stuck on the ripples in floor board a few times--that happens more often than not when i get the buggy air-borne. need to bend the tip up just a whisker to help it slide. been meaning to bend mine a little more. it really needs a heavier spring in the cockpit on the stock throttle IMO. --i still prefer the talons SNAP over my wifes RZR 1K soggy mush pile of a throttle/response.
I hope youre right about the pioneer 500 throttlemaxx fitting the talon. I ordered me one.

Best fix is the X4, it doesn’t have the problem. Maybe length of cable absorbing it some....🤷♂️
