Default G2 throttle tube

http://www.g2ergo.com/

Excellent product to allow you to fine tune throttle response. This throttle tube is made of aluminium and comes with 3 different cams which change the rate of the slide lifting during the initial period. I use the slowest and find it really helps low speed control. After I fitted it I was at a track with a couple of MXers who are faster than me. Through a flat S bend I gained on them noticeably as they could put power down smoothly. With the G2 throttle I had much better control, cornered smoother and reeled them in - until the grippy bends at least!

+1!

I'm a believer in the G2 throttle too. I use the slowest cam (blue) on my bike. It really helps fine-tune the power delivery in mud and on hillclimbs.

I too like this product. I run the #200 cam. Its good on the 2-strokes, but really shines on the big 4-strokes that have big off idle thrust like my brother's TE450, really makes them more ridable in the tight.

Good to hear ! I just ordered one too.
I experimented in the sprint by puttin my spare (fast)trials throttle assembly on, and although it was stupid slow, (like 180 degrees) it was awesome in the snow, ice and mud. It felt like I could dial in 100 rpm at a time with no wheelspin. Crawling along the crown of rutted atv trails suddenly became fun. Sounds like either the 200 or 400 will suit me.

I have one too. I have been running the 400 cam and it really seems to help when I get into tight technical stuff.

I really like my G2 also (on a 300 KTM) - I use the #300 for wet and the # 200 for sand. The good news for me is it is the same throttle tube as a KTM and will also fit on my potential 07 GG 300

I don't think the throttle is less responsive, I guess we're talking semantics here but it's just a lot more linear in my opinion. I don't feel at all like its less responsive. I had a riding buddy come off his 11 Nambo onto my 10 and really liked the way the throttle reacted in comparison to his and was considering buying one. I think you actually have to try the different cams before you understand what I'm trying to say with the responsive part. Just my 2 cents

The real value to the G2 is when you run a light flywheel. The large 2K-3 is so big it slows response down anyway. The #200 is good, especially in very long tight sections where your on/off the throttle a lot, especially on a 300.
