I have a couple of ideas. 1) try lubing the cable 2) loosen the throttle mount just enough so she can rotate it ( ever so slightly ) to a different position, when her thumb gets tired.
3) Mikuni carbs are connected by a coupling kit. Just behind the " bell crank " on the coupling shaft is a plastic sleeve that houses the Throttle Return spring. You can play around with changing the spring tang ( end ) position. Generally this is resting on a part of the carb body. You may have to bend it a little and move it's original position ( 45 -90 degrees ). thus decreasing the throttle pull. If you change the position you might want to secure the end somehow. OR try to replace the current spring with a lighter spring.
4) Drill a hole in the bell crank and attach a very light duty spring to add a mechanical advantage . For an idea of what kind of spring I'm talking about google " BMW EZ spring "
You might have to play around a little. I know guy's complain about their throttle pulls on thier bikes.
I assume no liability for this information, I rather not give this kind of advise but since you asked ..... It's just intended to give you some ideas. I don't believe that anything can't be over come. It's just a matter of persistance - time - money.
My wife gave up riding years ago, it had something to do with me yelling at her all the time.
My Bad.......
