G2 Dirt Throttle Tamer for Yamaha
Get Control! Smoother power delivery for Yamaha motorcycles. Progressive shaped throttle provides better control in technical situations. Faster cornering – more traction – better confidence in gnarly conditions! Used by more top off-road racers than ANY throttle!
G2 Throttle Tamer Tube for Yamaha
The G2 Throttle Tamer for Yamaha 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 Yamaha 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 than the stock Yamaha 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 Yamaha models, 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 Yamaha! 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!

I had been researching a way to decrease the snatchy throttle behavior of my wr250r. The G2 throttle tamer definitely helped – easy to install following the company YouTube instruction video.

Smooth easy throttle

Works as advertised, smoothed out the off idle snappy throttle response on my fuel injected YZ 250FX.

I put the G2 throttle tamer on each of my bikes. I do not even ride it before ordering. It is that good for me.

Purchased the G2 Throttle tamer to soften the throttle a little on my wife’s 2021 YZ250FX. Very nice unit and is a shame it gets mostly covered up by the grip, as it looks awesome! The pop out end is handy so I did not have to cut or drill anything. Installation was pretty painless. We have snow here, so really unable to test it out, but initial trial indicates it will do what is expected. If I had anything to complain about, it would be the colour. Would be nice if it was anodized in blue for Yamaha, so the small amount that is visible matched the bike. Not a big deal! Very happy with G2 TT and appears to be built to last.

This is the second dirt tamer throttle I’ve installed. One on a 2012 KTM 250SX and one on a 2010 Yamaha YZ250. Both are high strung two strokes being used for enduro riding on tight technical terrain. The dirt tamer is ESSENTIAL to providing the precise throttle inputs needed for enduro racing and trail riding.

Very well made product, Instructions on installing on different length bars would be nice. It was a bit longer than my stock bar so I had to take off the stock throttle clamps and grind off the nub so I could slide it further onto the bar.

Actually thought the smoothness of the throttle caused the throttle to be more sensitive versus OEM. I can feel the 20% it’s supposed to reduce the initial throttle hit. I’m going to switch back to OEM and test more. Jury is out.

First this is a far higher quality piece than the plastic throttle tube that came stock, love the aluminum with delrin bushings. Install was pretty easy and straightforward. It drastically changed the power delivery, I feel like I have far more control over the powerband, especially on the low end. It’s a huge help for slower technical terrain, one of the best mods I’ve made to the bike so far. Highly recommended!
