This is why I want to get the Electraeon.  I hardly ever get to 100% throttle because it takes too much twisting to get there.

That issue must be solved  ;D

hey guys question for anyone with the G2 Throttle Tamer installed.

Did you just adjust the throttle cable from top of throttle cable only as I have done OR did you adjust at the bottom near the throttle itself as well. I measured the 'freeplay' on mine currently at around 6-7mm however I ain't getting any 'jerkyness' I assumed this extra ''freeplay' was caused by the tamer/cam install to alleviate the original stock 'jerkyness' as described in the G2 video.

Just making sure I have mine setup in the best possible way.

I don't have a G2, but 6-7 mm sounds way too much.... Do you really mean you can twist the grip 6 - 7 mm without it resulting in anything? For me, the on/off throttle was gone when I reduced my freeplay to almost (ALMOST!) zero.
My adjustment was done down by the engine.

Ok interesting.

I placed a piece of paper on grip and throttle assembly and measured the distance i could move before it revs. I got to around 6-7mm, interestingly enough I don't get the bite caused by what you would think would be much slack.

I will adjust mine down below then as I cannot adjust any further from the top as it will only allow so much.

I think the top adjuster is meant for minor adjustments, like when the wire stretches a little bit over time.
Screw the top adjuster all the way in before you adjust down by the engine. Then fine adjust on top.

Ok no problems, I will give this a go tonight.

Thanks for your help.

I really dislike anything but the minimum cable freeplay, like 1-2mm or so travel measured at the grip.  Makes a big difference to me.  I would highly encourage you to tighten up the cable with the top adjuster and take it out for a spin.

BK , unfortunately as mentioned above the top adjuster is only for minor adjustments which still leaves me with 6-7mm. So tonight I will adjust the bottom one which is designed to achieve larger adjustments which it seems I require.

Sorry didn't catch that, but as described they both accomplish the same thing, so adjust away and don't settle for anything less than perfection.  If you end up with a high warm idle you've gone just a bit too far.

the Electraeon is a plus for me as it saves my wrist from being in an awkward position at full or 3/4 throttle where I do a lot of Autobahn riding.

but in town... it's touchy, but still smooth.

+10 for an 1100.

Excellent for the twisty stuff, and the track, and flogging it.  A bit touchy in traffic.  But so nice to whack wide open
