G2 Dirt Throttle Tamer for Kawasaki
Get Control! Smoother power delivery for Kawasaki motorcycles. Progressive shaped throttle provides better control in technical situations. Faster cornering – more traction – better confidence in gnarly conditions! Used by Babbitt’s Kawasaki in GNCC XC1!
G2 Throttle Tamer Tube for Kawasaki
The G2 Throttle Tamer for Kawasaki motorcycles is designed to help YOU become a better rider! How? It uses a “progressive” (non-circular) ratio between throttle grip rotation and power delivery. By changing the shape of the pulley, or “cam”, the Throttle Tamer gives you a huge improvement in control! This is the exact throttle used by Team Babbitts Kawasaki for GNCC XC1 and countless other off-road professionals!
Each Kawasaki Throttle Tamer’s progressive shape is proven to be the best all-round solution for each model. For most models, the cam size begins about 20% smaller than stock, then it ramps up to the stock size by about one-half throttle.
The Throttle Tamer’s 20% smaller size requires slightly more rotation at first. This slightly longer pull makes a HUGE difference in control! As the power is rolled on, you will find it far easier to modulate traction. The cam size increases, or ramps up, after ½ throttle to keep overall rotation near stock rotation. Whether your goals are faster cornering, less wheelspin or more finesse on those goat trails, the G2 Throttle Tamer will improve your ability to control the throttle!
For 2 cable models (4 strokes or 2 stroke EFI), the cam appears circular from the side. However, if you look closely you will see a channel machined into the cam, This channel has our progressive “tamer” shape. Utilizing a channel provides all the control while keeping the cable positioned properly.
Are Delrin bushings better than ball bearings?
Ball bearing equipped throttle tubes seem like a great idea. Once installed and you’re twisting the throttle (with the bike on a stand and the engine off) it sure feels sweet! But give it a “real world test”. While you’re sitting on the bike, apply a bit of downward pressure on the grip as you turn. You will immediately feel the aluminum tube contact the handlebar. With G2 Throttles, the Delrin bushings prevent this completely! Push down all you want! In addition, ball bearings require constant maintenance, or the bearing will corrode and ultimately seize. Not so with our Delrin bushing equipped throttle tubes!
Using handguards? No problem with the G2 Throttle Tamer Tube for Kawasaki! The end cap is removeable and allows easy handguard installation. The knurled area allows for solid grip adhesion. Just install a good quality grip (we highly recommend Domino Grips) and you’re good to go!

Noticed a differnce right away with this highly recomended for a new rider looking for better throttle controll
Thomas D. –
Totally different bike- set up for woods riding, this made the 450 easier to ride in the woods.

I’m new to 2 strokes (only have owed 4 strokes prior) and having the dirt throttle tamer has honestly been so great. It allows for way better control at lower speeds esp less jerky on the slow technical terrain. All the power is still there but it’s just way more controllable in my opinion. I have it on my 01 KDX 200 and probably won’t ever take it off

This thing works! The instant response that stock throttle delivered on my 21 KX450X was difficult for me to handle on the slower, rougher terrain. I would get arm pump more than I’m used to. I put this throttle tamer on and it is a world of difference. The arm pump I was experiencing is gone and my 450 is a blast to ride on tighter, slower trails now. 100% happy with my purchase and would highly recommend to anyone looking to make their modern 450 more manageable in the tight woods.

Tried G2 throttle trimmer out today . I have a kx250f 2007 . I ride : single, enduro style tracks. It seem to give the clutch a wider sweet spot . More control in the single, didn’t stall as much . Thumbs up thanks G2. Cheers STubags

Got the G2 throttle tamer tube for my KX450, I had one tip over in a corner and it bent the end of the tube enough “being aluminum” to where it’s no longer round enough to use without sticking. Good product other than that.
Dylan W. –
Quality product. It really helps with the slow technical sections
Justin –
This does exactly what it’s advertised to do, and really calmed down the initial throttle hit
