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....

Actually, I take that bolded statement back. Seems the electraeon has a linear rate with less twist required to reach WOT. The G2 and the electaeon might make a sweet combo - non-linear quick-turn! BK |

Two thumbs up on the G2 throttle tube!!  The lack of friction, smoothness and precision is a big plus. Didn't pay a lot of attention to the non-linear cam. Could not help but notice the butter smooth throttle action. Easier to crack the throttle open earlier because the brain knows that it can be eased on with absolute precision and timing. Me like. If I had to pick nits, the only thing to note is that the tolerance between the bar and the throttle tube is somewhat more apparent than on the OE tube and there is some amount of "chatter" in the hand on bumpy road surfaces. The actual tolerance is similar (measured it) but it feels greater with the aluminum tube. Money well spent - should have done it sooner. BK |

You won't be disappointed. Earlier you asked about the installation. It is VERY simple and obvious. Just two screws and two bolts to get the original housing/tube off. I used some compressed air to help remove the old grip, which I recycled onto the G2 tube with some safety wire on both ends. Adjust the cable for the correct (minimal) amount of free play and go ride! BK |

Installed the G2 and Pro Grip 719 grips! Nice! Vibes are not as bad, actually I dare say non-existent The throttle control, very nice and smooth, I can just work on feeding in a good drive from stops. I adjusted the play to the 2-4mm range more like 2 1/2 to 3mm, very nice!! |

Looking at the G2 website, the G2 Throttle Tamer only comes in 400 and the kit with the 3 different cams isn't available for Ducati? Is this correct?

So if I understand everything correctly I think the best set up for me would be the G2 stock throttle tube and the Electraeon Face Throttle cam. Again just talking for me. I think the stock profile is fine in the beginning. I just wish it was more aggressive at the end. I want the G2 so that the I have the smoothest grip possible. It looks as though they [G2] do not make a throttle tube with stock profile for the Ducati. I sent them an email hoping they can clarify this.

You can use Marine-tex or JB Weld to change the cam profile on the G2. The throttle tamer comes with a 500 series cam which is even milder on takeoff than the 400 they sell for other bikes. You can build a little surface and trim to fit. Easy enough to do.

G2 got back to me, fast I might add. They said they can do a custom invoice to do just the tube and a stock profile on the tube. =)

so...I wanted to dig into one of these on my 99 monster. Their application guide says 2000- only. I checked my local Duc dealer and the necessary parts have the same part numbers between 99-2000.
I decided to ring them-great guys by the way. Gary said as long as my system was a single cable system, it would work. I explained that my 99 was a twin cable. Gary explained to me that I needed to order the application for Multistrada as Domino only made 2 different throttles for Ducati as far back as they had record of. He also mentioned that he hadn't tried this type set up on an older bike like mine and if it didn't work, he'd gladly return it for me.
Anyone have any insight on this potential swap or am I gunna be the lab rat?

I just installed the G2 Throttle Tamer with 400CAM onto my Ducati Monster 1100 2009. I can safely say it made a huge difference in fact it was so different it took me a little bit to get used to the bloody thing!! ...I believe someone said its like night and day in this forum or another and I would totally agree with that statement. I had to play around with the Throttle cable to get it 'just right' but a ride sorted that for me to find that happy medium... There is a slight extra 'freeplay' than the stock tube hence why it feels very different but power is definitely there when you get on it. In fact it feels much better when feeding the throttle because of the smoothness of the Delrin inserts the G2 uses. BTW: I noticed some people speaking about the G2 Throttle Tamer and the Electraeon ( http://www.electraeon.com/throttlecam.html), anyone here actually recommend/tried both or does it make it completely redundant? |

The Electraeon will make eveything happen with 75% of the twisting movement.
I put mine on because I thought I moved my arm too much - from 0 to full throttle.
It's not a noob mod, because it requires a steady hand. On my 800 - not so scary.
Combined, might be a nice option.

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.

<snip>
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. |
