Full throttle?

[Krasi]

How often would you say that you're 3/4 or more on the throttle? How much do you open the throttle, say, when you exit a flat corner or you need to rise the front wheel in front of a log?

I know it depends on the engine, the gearing, the obstace, etc, but I think I might be somewhat scared to "twist it". I recently started riding EC300, stock gearing, and I seldomly reach 3/4 of the throttle. At least I think so. The tacho almost never reaches 7 or 8 th. rpms. Next step I plan to do is take a white marker and put some marking on the grip so that hopefully I would be able to notice how much I'm using.

I read Gary Semics advice that one should really over grip the throttle handle. Is that too motocross style?
