Domino Throttle Control or G2 Ergonomics Tamer Throttle Tube

[ducamonsta]

I would like to change my Stock throttle control with one of these !
Does anyone have the domino or the g2?

I don't know anything about the domino -- though that link makes me think it's the same as stock (I've been told by G2 that the stock monster throttle is made by domino)

I have the G2 on both my 696 and my 1100 and LOVE it!  No complaints what so ever.  I posted more detailed feelings about it in another thread you can search for.

Do you know if these are linear or progressive throttles and are they larger diameter than stock?

I.e. Do they open your throttle quicker and/or offer fine control over small throttle openings but then more quickly go to full throttle as you twist the grip

If a quicker action with less wrist/elbow movement is what you're after....

My experience is that a wire with almost no freeplay contributes to better throttle control, if that's the issue.

i'm going the electraeon route. waiting for it to arrive.

i think there was always a lot of free play with the throttle on my bike. i know there's supposed to be some, but it does make it sloppy not knowing when the throttle opens on the turn.

I've got one on my bike, actually 

But I thought the electraeon didn't work on the newer models and I'm keeping my eyes open for something for a buddy's HM

Isn't that what the cable adjuster is for at either end of the throttle cable (e.g. engine side with tools, and on the fly at the controls)?

they have 2 versions now but i'll confirm when it arrives.

yes yes point out the obvious

I have the G2 on my KTM SMT. This is exactly what it does. It smoothes power delivery at small throttle openings (essentially requiring more of a twist than stock for the same power), then makes up for it by going to full throttle quicker at large throttle openings...so in the end the total twist to WOT is the same.

I like it a lot on my KTM.

YEs on mine it has a little freeplay, + i like to upgrade the throttle control , I dont like the plastice tube on the oem throttle control. so I am confused on wheater buy the Domino Throttle control with the Electraeon Cam or just the G2 tube and keep the stock cam! Does it make sense?

If you ask me, also on a S2R 800, my opinion is that the shorter action of the Electraeon is a good mod for our bikes. It's not very dramatic to use full throttle and it makes a lot of sense not having to move the elbow and/or wrist quite that much. On the other hand, on let's say a SuperBike or a S4R, a quick action throttle cam might be too "hot".

Why don't you try the Electraeon first (including tightening the wire) and then decide if you need this or that throttle control? Seems logical to me.

hOW HARD is it to install it? any special tools? now I was reading they have some sort of number like 400Cam and G2 tamer too, what does it mean?

For the first two questions, answers are...... very easy and straight forward - no special tools.
One nut, off and on. Tighten the excess wire.
(I don't know about the third question)

Bought a G2 and received/installed it on my M695 today - no riding time yet.  Nice little tube.  The mechanical action of twisting the throttle is much improved, but still nowhere near the level of the awesome push/pull setup on my SBK.  The cam portion on the G2 can be easily swapped out for one of several different profiles, which run ~$25 each from G2.  That aspect was not clear to me until I had the part in my hand and dug deeper into the G2 site.  Mine came with the most aggressive profile cam.  The electraeon would be completely redundant if you have the G2 (unless you opted for the stock profile).

My OE assembly is labeled as a Domino on the inside.

G2 also sells Domino throttle assemblies at their site.

Can't wait to spread on some jam with my new tube....
