[QUOTE="blakmambo, post: 1338005, member: 89945"] I've read through a number of posts and threads on the G2 throttle tamer, but searching here and google didn't seem to find anything on the "competition" option from G2. After riding the 09 for awhile I have grown used to the off/on lean bog and the problems of that in the turns, for which I'm seeing from posts that that problem was "fixed" in 08 and "gone" in 09--I can "work around" those issues. The more significant issue now seems to be the amount of wrist twisting needed to get the bike into freeway speeds, combined with a heavy throttle pull; I have an old ZG Kawi that doesn't require much twisting at all to do **legal** speeds, but the FJR in comparison does. Can anyone offer any comment on using the G2 competition (.050) cam as far as whether it is tractable enough to run through tight turns, and then jump on the freeway and be able to get into CA speed zone without re-gripping or riding along with the wrist bent way down? I don't need to be the first guy away from the light or through the turn, I'm riding two-up much of the time, I need smooth acceleration w/o going to WFO such that the better half isn't dumped -- yet be up with the traffic. I have a Throttle Rocker which helps with the heavy throttle spring problem, but it seems like the stock 09 throttle needs to rotate quite a bit and then it's drag race time. Looking for quick but smooth and controllable in the turns--any hope that the competition cam could help out there OR nope it's way too twitchy???? TIA Mambo [/QUOTE]
