Overview
The G2 Tamer Throttle Tube for Kawasaki Metric Cruisers improves control of the over-responsive power characteristics of fuel injected metric cruisers and offers the solution for the jerky "throttle snatch" you’ve noticed ever since you bought your big metric cruiser. It’s not just you! When you combine a huge displacement motor and fuel injection, things happen VERY quickly as you turn that throttle!
G2 has the cure that can be simply installed in minutes.
The tamer throttle incorporates a non-linear ratio between hand throttle rotation and carburetor or throttle body opening. The “pulley”, or as we call it, “cam” pulls the throttle cable as the rider rotates the grip/tube. By altering the conventional, circular shaped cam, a vast improvement in control is achieved.
The Throttle Tamer has a cam area with a reduced radius initially, which requires a slightly farther rotation to achieve the same throttle body opening position as a stock throttle. This virtually eliminates the jerky “throttle snatch” especially evident in modern fuel injected machines. The radius increases or “ramps up” after ½ throttle to keep overall rotation required to reach full throttle at or near stock rotation.
NOTE: Does not work on the new Fly by wire Versions of the Vulcan 1700 -so if you dont have throttle cables, it wont work for you
