Does anyone know what they're from for the 450? I seem to be missing one and clearly there should be two..........

Was a safety feature from the factory in case one broke I believe, but most dealers removed one. I actually took the one off many years ago on your 450 as the throttle was just too stiff with two - the same is true of Griff's where you'll find most are down to one, including mine.

Mine has two and as mentioned, when I questioned (DJE) why two I was told a spare in place ready to rock just in case.

No idea what off though.

Jimbo, I put a second spring on mine to make the throttle stronger and to act as a backup as already mentioned!

I used a spring out of a spares box sold in Halfrauds

Mine has three if you count the cylindrically-wound one on the throttle shaft itself.
