Throttle snatch, no big deal is what I used to think. But then I started paying attention to what I was doing coming out of a corner and I was taking a long time to come up on the throttle if I wanted smooth delivery. Installed a Throttle Tamer from G2ergo.com and what a difference. Coming up on the throttle very smooth is MUCH easier. I highly recommend this farkle.

Yes!

I've had the G2 on my 2011 for well over a year now with no issues.

+3 After I installed mine, way back when, I said that the bike should come from the factory this way.

- thanks for the info there. Have always had trouble with fine throttle control at lower throttle openings ,

- ie its jerky at low throttle openings.

- does this alleviate it ?

The tamer and properly adjusted cables is as good as it gets.

YES

And as others have said, no problem with the OE heated grips. Took me about 20 min to install.

Question for you on the OEM heated grips....is the element molded into the rubber or is there an inner sleeve?

Molded in. You just have to carefully separate the rubber from the OE plastic throttle tube. Some have had good success with an air needle. I use a garage door opener visor clip, straightened and slightly curved (see below). Lub it with WD40 and slide it in between the grip and the throttle tube and work it all the way around..

Thanks for the information..

It's now been on the bike almost a week and I'm loving it. I forget sometimes and it surprises me. I'm slowly opening the throttle expecting the snatch and it is smooth as silk. Then I remember...

I want it!!!
I am just unwilling to mess with the grips. Too afraid I will ruin it.

Yep, I have Horizon ST bars from Helibars. Makes no difference to the throttle tube.

It's really not a problem. Just get a long thin piece of metal and some WD40. Take your time and work it between the rubber and the throttle tube. In a few minutes the grip will be off. I use silicon goop to glue it back on to the new tube. I put it inside the grip, not the outside of the tube. That way none ends up inside the assembly to gum it up. Then remove any excess at the end before reinstalling the end weight. Seriously, I spent about 20 min installing it.

I see on there web site multiple cam profile choices for the tamer....did you just go with what comes as standard or did you use a different one? Want to make sure I am ordering the right one. Thanks

I thought that they only had one for our bikes? I just tried to check their website but it seems to be down right now.
