Throttle Spring Too Light

I have searched to no avail.
Does anyone know of an elegant solution to making the throttle stiffer/harder to push? I am finding on bumpy roads I can not maintain a constant throttle position.

Yeah, it took me a long time to get accustomed to it. I'm not aware of a solution but I have adjusted to it.

It's DBW, so just look at the sensor under the pedal and see if you can put on a stiffer spring or otherwise increase the tension on it. It's not like a DBC car where you could put a stiffer spring on the TB to do this.

I agree, I hate this pedal-feels like a cheap electronic pedal from an arcade game. Not to mention the top of my foot gets tired from having to hold my foot up with more effort. Thinking of doing something to add tension.
