Put some miles on my PRO today, one thing I noticed was the throttle flipper slop. Is this due to a safety return spring? Seemed excessive to me how much the flipper moved side-side...

if your new to TPS, the TPS setup causes that...more so, requires that.
coming from a doo, it felt 'sloppy' too.
actually, my first experience was on my Nytro.. Yamaha uses a similar/same design.
and they all suck...fail...cause problems...and are just plain finicky.
everyone needs to just use a tether already, lot fewer issues...and it STOPS the engine.
I tried to tighten mine up some and seem to just trigger the TPS more now. Its very inconsistent and potentially dangerous. I'd just leave it loose and have a better chance of it not causing problems I guess.

I was in 2 plus of powder last week goin down a road with the throttle 3/4 to full wide open. after a few min i chopped the throttle and there was alot of snow built up under the flipper so it went to about 1/4 throttle when i let off. This threw the check engine light on and the sled started idling funky and almost shutting down. I cleaned the snow out fired it back up and ran fine. this happened 2-3 more times to me going down this road and also to a friends pro. I was told to rub some wax on the area between the flipper and block to help keep the snow from sticking here.
I know its not really related to your topic but good info here!

you can also get some runability issues if the cable is too loose, you want a little more then zero freeplay..with the single contact safety switch the pro uses too much slop in the cable will /can cause issues........

same prob i had but no check engine light, noticed when i started it back up and it was idling 3800 rpm, kind of a pain to clean out the build up will have to try out the wax.

I should say im on a 12. not sure how much different the throttle block is in this area on the 13 but I would assume that they would have a similar issue.
They need to redesign the whole thing IMO. First off the flipper itself is WAY too big and bulky. You have to stretch your thumb/hand out way more then you should to run it. Mine also fills up with snow behind it, and around the block all the time. The best throttle out there is on my Nytro, nice and small/short and very easy smooth pull. Wish I had that on my Pro
Is this adjustment ok to do? Will it cause any issues with TPS? My 13 from the dealer came with a lot of slop at the flipper.
Yes, it's NECCESSARY. Just taking the slack out of the cable so that when you touch the flapper, the tension is already there.
I wouldn't think it's got anything to do with TPS settings.
All you do is slide the rubber cover away to expose the tensioner.
Loosen the stop-nut, tighten the cable until it slightly raises your idle...then back it off a quarter or half turn or so.
Tighten the stop-not, slide the rubber housing back over it.
Ride it.
Mine was tightened before I rode it, and my buddies was not. Easily noticed the flapper was crisp off idle.
