Striple 765 R 2023 - heavy-ish throttle? Any remedies?

Maintenance Issues

Hi all

After fixing my battery dilemma, I am growing more and more enamored with my Striple.

Sadly, I have a bit of a perpetually bad risk, likely from overloading it with a bunch of other sports.
Even more unfortunately, the Striples throttle feels uncharacteristically heavy for a fly-by-wire one. My previous BMW felt like there was near no resistance at all, and even my current Aprilia is noticeably lighter.

For short outings it's bearable, but I do intend to go on a longer tour soon.

Is there anything that can be done to the throttle tube itself to lighten the resistance?
(I know there are different gadgets for the wrist to rest on etc. which I will employ in the short term. Just curious if there is a persistent solution)

FWIW, I live in Europe, so these aftermarket cruise-control clamps are highly illegal afaik.
