Product Description

The G2 Street Throttle Tamer Tube for Kawasaki incorporates a non-linear ratio between hand throttle rotation and carburetor or throttle body opening. The throttle tube has a pulley where the throttle cable, or cables, attach. This pulley pulls the throttle cable as the rider rotates the grip/tube combination. By altering the conventional, circular shaped pulley into a “cam” shape, a vast improvement in control is achieved and throttle snatch is drastically reduced.

The G2 Street Throttle Tamer Tube has a pulley with a reduced radius initially, which requires a slightly farther rotation to achieve the same carburetor or throttle body opening position as compared to the stock throttle tube. This virtually eliminates the jerky “throttle snatch” especially evident in modern fuel injected street bikes. The radius increases or ramps up after ½ throttle to keep overall rotation required to reach full throttle at or near stock rotation.

The profile shape and ratio proven to be the best all-round solution for each model is used.

You will need a grip to install to your new Throttle Tamer. If your stock grip is in good condition, most may be removed and installed onto your Throttle Tamer. Check out our INSTALLATION section for removing stock grips from the stock plastic throttle tube, gluing grips onto the Throttle Tamer and installing the Throttle Tamer with your stock throttle housing and cables.

G2 has offered the Street Throttle Tamer Tube for over 17 years with tens of thousands of satisfied customers worldwide. We guarantee you will find this the best investment in control you have ever made, or you can return the throttle for a full refund! At G2, we stand behind our products and pride ourselves on the best customer service. If you have ANY questions about our throttle, please call or email (see contacts page). We guarantee a human will answer the phone or respond to your voicemail within one business day!

    Mr. Concours – January 5, 2013

    Hey guys, I just want to let you know that the throttle cam that I bought from you over the summer made my Concours so much smoother off of idle that it feels like a new bike! I have owned many bikes in my years and I thought that I would have to get a power commander and re-map or something expensive ,or just get a different bike altogether to smooth things out. But you provided a very nice fix to the issue that I had and it was a no brainer to install. I have been meaning to thank you all summer but have been too busy riding.

    I purchased the throttle tamer for my 2011 Kawasaki Concours which I’ve owned since new. This was the best upgrade I’ve done, and I wish I’d bought one immediately for my bike! It is so much less abrupt on the throttle and allows smooth small changes in speed rather than the jerkiness I’ve been dealing with. Great product!

    Peter – May 26, 2014

    I just came back from a 50-mile backroad ride, my first after installing the Street Tamer. I bought it because my wife was tired of banging helmets and I thought it would help. It has.

    It has transformed my bike (a 2009 650 Ninja). That’s a strong statement, but it’s true. I didn’t realize how much the abrupt nature of the throttle was affecting the handling. I always thought it was me when, after entering a corner, I couldn’t get exactly the line I wanted. The precise throttle control I now have has made cornering much more fun. If I carry either a little to much or too little speed, I can dial in a precise change. Previously, any attempt to modulate the throttle resulted in a sharp change in loading of the suspension and a change in line. Now, I’m able to pick a line easily by simply adjusting the throttle. I was having so much fun exploring this new control that it brought a big grin to my face.

    Another big benefit is coming to a stop while facing uphill. Again, precise throttle control allows for smoother starts. Low-speed handling is much better. Making a U-turn is much, much easier.

    Installation was simple and took about 20 minutes, most of which were spent wrestling the handgrip off the old tube and onto the Tamer. I heated it in a microwave oven for two minutes to make it more pliable and used two pairs of pliers to pull it off and put it on, all while wearing gloves because the grip got very hot. The tamer itself went on easily and fit precisely. Throttle action is smooth and with the grip in place, it’s invisible.

    I’m not one for modifying bikes. My only other change is a Corbin seat. But this is one of those “small change, big results” products. I recommend it without reservation.

    Bob Bowman – October 25, 2015

    Bike 2008 Kawasaki Versys: I have tried for years to get rid of the throttle sensitivity. I purchased your Street Tamer, easy installation, took me longer to get the old grips off than install the throttle. I have to say that I was impressed, nearly eliminated the throttle snatch. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that I have not put any miles to speak of (Highway and twisties) to give it a real test. Great product, too bad Kawasaki can’t figure that out.

    Chris Ayotte – April 22, 2016

    I contacted G2 about a fit for my 2016 Versys 650, they told me to order the Yamaha FZ09. I checked rutmonkey.com and they had the correct tube at a discounted price so I pulled the trigger. It was easy to install, the only fit issue I encountered was that I couldn’t fully tighten the the throttle housing or the tube would not snap back properly, it would catch a little. I tightened the upper section firmly, and put thread tape on the lower screw and tightened it just enough to to allow the tube to snap back freely.

    I just got back from 180 mile loop and I’m really happy with the results, this tube smooths everything out, I’m sure my daily commute will be benefit the most.

    Graham – September 7, 2016

    Worryingly expensive with the postage to the UK hence 4 stars, but its nicely made and it works. Fitting to my Kawasaki Versys 650 2016 was straightforward, I even used the 4 months ‘old’ grip. Washing up liquid helped it off and clear aerosol lacquer stuck it on. The bike is now a thing of fun as it should have been from the day I bought it. I am very surprised that the reviewers and the Japanese engineers did not pick up on this super sensitive throttle. It was miserable ordeal to ride slowly in town on wet commutes and narrow roads. Not anymore. I am very pleased with this product. The best mod I have done on the bike.

    Sonny – March 19, 2017

    A wonderful mod for the Kawasaki Versys 1000 — greatly reduces snatch and on/off throttle, makes shifting and fine speed control smoother and easier.

    When reassembling the throttle box, get the centering pin in the hole in the handlebar, then proceed from there.

    This is an excellent product.

    Dustin – August 13, 2017

    What a difference! Got it for my Kawasaki Vulcan S, which was pretty twitchy even with adjusting the throttle cable. The G2 was a cinch to install, and has made both shifting and rolling off the throttle so much smoother. Highly recommend it!

    Matt – September 3, 2017

    I had a minor issue fitting it. Support is immediate and excellent. Quickly resolved. The Tamer itself works exactly as promised. Initial throttle response is much easier to use, much easier to feed power in and modulate in turns. Much nicer for my occasional passenger as well. Now i need one for my FI dirt bike.

    Just to let you know the throttle tamer arrived today and I have fitted it no problem. Works very well takes away the abrupt engine braking and smooths out the gear change from 1st to 2nd which was a bit fierce. Made the Z900 RS even better!
    Kind regards,

    Robert – January 8, 2019

    Great product, great company, great customer service! I purchased this for my 2018 Z900RS, which is known to have a snatchy throttle. I owned the bike for approximately one month prior to purchasing this product with hopes that I would be able to adapt to the stock throttle but it just wasn’t happening. It took me about 20 minutes to easily install and made one heck of a difference in the initial throttle response. Prior to my purchase I spoke with a gentleman on the phone from the company and he kindly assisted me with all my questions and even helped me apply a coupon. Will definitely order from this company again in the future!

    A beautiful crafted piece of kit. I’m another Z900RS Owner and this was the first purchase I made for the bike as the snatch off idle was difficult to get used too.
    For me it definitely made a major difference with softening the initial throttle response by increasing the amount of wrist rotation required initially.
    Its made my daily commute a whole lot more enjoyable.

    The Throttle Tamer is helping to smooth out the throttle in the lower gears on my Vulcan S, and I get better throttle response. I don’t feel the jerkiness I used to get when I roll back on the throttle. I’m happy I found out about the throttle tamer because I didn’t want the trouble and expense of installing a booster plug.

    It works really nice without having to do a expensive reflash. My wife is alot more comfortable as a passenger ” because the bike is not so jerkey now ”
    It reduced the arm fatigue for me not having to clutch the handle grip when trying to roll on throttle slow or easy. Now you can pretty much open it up & go.
    I’m considering getting another or the other cams when I want to loose my passenger because ” I need some me time with my mistress ” to hit 180 mph mark in a half mile !!
