G2 Dirt Throttle Tamer – Kawasaki
$69.95
Smoother power delivery with the G2 Dirt Tamer for Kawasaki .Progressive shaped throttle provides better control in technical situations.
Product Description
The G2 Dirt Tamer Throttle Tube for Kawasaki 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. For most models the Throttle Tamer includes a 400 style cam profile, but some will have alternative cam profiles. The cam proven to be the best all-round solution for each model is used.
The G2 Dirt Tamer Throttle Tube has a cam with a reduced radius initially, which requires a slightly farther rotation to achieve the same carburetor or throttle body opening position as a stock throttle. This slightly longer pull makes a HUGE difference in control as the power is rolled on and the rider searches for traction. The radius increases or ramps up after ½ throttle to keep overall rotation requires to reach full throttle at or near stock rotation.
G2 cams are interchangeable! You are never stuck with a ratio that is not correct for your skill or track condition! You can always go back to the stock ratio, quicker, or for most models several different progressive control ratios! Cams may be ordered separately, or consider the G2 Throttle Cam System that includes a tube and three cams – 100 (stock), 200 (10% smaller & progressive) and 400 (20% smaller & progressive).
Product Highlights
- Machined from 6061 aluminum in the USA!
- Cams for most 2016 and newer models (with gray throttle housing) are machined from Delrin!

- Slide one of our Domino Grips (sold separately) or your grip unto the included Throttle Tube.

Performed EXACTLY Like Advertised – Great Customer Service Too! I actually had my KLX450R up for sale to downsize to a 250 due to the abrupt throttle response in the tight stuff as well as tired hands and arms. The G2 Dirt Tamer totally smoothed out the “hit” making my bike much more controllable, able to maintain traction and a pleasure to ride. Super fast shipping and fantastic customer service too. I highly recommend G2.

Excellent! My feelings on it are pretty positive. I currently have the 300 cam on it and I am thinking I wont even try the 400 for a while. My bike is a 2011, so no “snatchy” throttle like earlier models. I did have about 3000 miles of off road with the bike prior to install and now have about 200 after.
Pro- it does help a bit for the off idle creeping. Here again it was not excessive prior to install. where it shines is standing riding (which I do a lot of) in the rough stuff, if I am being beat around and twitching the throttle a bit-its not getting herky-jerky.
Con- really not any “cons” it does take a little getting used to when on gravel roads and doing a lot of twisting in and out of the turns. Gives it more of a abrupt power band feeling (which is fine). I assume it is due to the cam design pulling more cable after a 1/3 turn or so.
Fit- was really really nice ! I owned a fab shop so I am a little picky on fit and finish- these guys got their act together ! excellent workmanship – I mean EXCELLENT !
Would I recommend it to others – Yes , but like cool aid flavors (ie: motorcycle brands/oil/tires) every one can make their own decision based on their own experience, I am just stating my experience and satisfaction with the product.
We ride year round, mostly dirt and adventure dual sport riding between Nevada-Colorado and I like to promote good products.

I trail ride in the mountains of West Virginia and the G2 Throttle Tamer has made a significant difference in controlling my KX450 on tight trails. It took me a couple rides to get used to the shift in cable pull that changes at about about 1/3 twist. It is not that the bike takes off like a power band kicking at 1/3 throttle, but does change.
The quality of the throttle tube is top notch. It took about 20 minutes to install and fit perfectly. I highly the G2 Throttle Tamer this to anyone trying get more control over a large bike.

I have used Dirt Tamers on a 2012 Kawasaki KX250F and on a 2013 Yamaha YZ450F and they work great at smoothing out the abrupt low end power of both bikes.

What a quality piece of equipment. Installation took literally minutes. I installed it on my ‘19 KX250F to soften the initial “hit” and make it more trail friendly. My first impressions were less than desirable as I didn’t feel much of a difference. Now mind you this was a quick spin around my yard as it was getting dark. The next day I went out for a 2-3 hour ride and WOW what a difference.
The first thing I noticed was the increased amount of twist needed to achieve wide open throttle. This proved that the cam profile was different and it actually was working contrary to my previous nights experience and low speed riding was way more manageable. It’s been on my bike for a few weeks now and it gets better with every ride. Mind you that this is not a magic bullet and any fuel injected bike still has the ability to rip your arms off but you will feel a difference. I did and it made my slow speed trail riding much more enjoyable. In fact I may install the 10% cam because I feel the bike may now be too tame. In short BUY IT as it’s the best $70 you’ll spend on your bike. Now get out and ride!
