[QUOTE="GhidorahX, post: 1331163, member: 86815"] Question . . . are there any FJR operators in SoCal who have the G2 throttle tamer installed who also get to the Rock Store on a semi-regular basis that could meet me there on a Saturday morning and field some questions about their experience with it? I don't want a test ride, just do a twist test comparison to my 09 stock throttle to the G2 . . . seems like this relates to Gen2 throttle operation . . . . The "herky-jerky" problem has more or less been "compensated for" with the throttle rocker keeping the gas slightly on . . . now the problem is relating to slow start times away from lights due to what, heavy throttle spring and tall first gear???? Wondering if the G2 has a cam that turns the throttle further than stock so that the bike could go faster than 65 and not require a re-grip on the throttle to get that done??? I tried to get LACyclesport to "release" the throttle spring one turn, but they claimed that would be a "violation" against the manufacturer's code or something . . . haven't found a mechanic on the westside who will work on the bike to do such "modification" . . . . So far the 09 has been very "safe and sane" . . . a gentleman's almost express of consummate smoothness . . . doesn't do anything kawazzy . . . which is fine, but not so great for dicing on the freeways . . . . Anybody around with the G2?? Gx [/QUOTE]
