GT throttle

if the newer style is the same as the old ones were then it comes with three cams: the x100, x200, and x400. the x100 is the standard throttle cam, and is just like the original throttle, the 200 lets the first 1/3ish of the throttle turn is tapered down a little to make the throttle let on less intense, the x400 is about 2/3ish of the throttle turn. basically the g2 makes it so the throttle pulls the cable less than stock for part of the twist, then opens it fully at the end of the twist. i think g2 also makes a quick turn throttle that pulls the cable faster than stock.
@OP: you could also find a trials throttle tube, i think there are two of them, which will make the throttle similar to a trials throttle.

Rotate the bars forward and raise them if needed.

Thanks, I had a domino trials throttle somewhere. Cant remember if it was a slow or fast action though. I might try a G2.

I should put a powervalve cover on it too as I do stock the non adj type.

In trials I was always told don't be tempted to raise the bars even if you think it is more comfortable. Is that wrong?

Never heard of that one before. I added over 2" to my TXT.

I have found this to be very true. Raising the bars allows you to stand up straighter, which feels better, but it takes weight off the front wheel. Trials bikes need weight on the front wheel to stop the front pushing on full lock or tight turns.

I have a BN trials throttle I bought years ago and never installed,, the G2 came out and I went with that.. If your looking for one let me know.. It is even more spread than the lightest g2 cam..

Well I guess that depends upon how tall you are. Every one I know much over 6' raises them a little or gets a taller bend. It's probably more important to rotate them forward, because that helps get the weight on the front too.

G2 also has a 300 cam, a 500 and maybe even a 600. Call and talk to him or email. He's a super nice guy and excellent customer support

theyve come along way then, since the one on my bike was purchased anyhoo.

My 52 tooth sprocket came too late this week, but I still had a great time testing the new setup out a little forest near me with a lot of rocks and fallen trees.

I am looking at getting an Estart flywheel nut and making a flywheel weight to bolt on too.
