Its my understanding that 100, 200, 300 and 400, don't change the total pull of the throttle. WOT is always the same place, and the cam profiles just vary the sensitivity from closed to 1/3rd throttle. Like Trev says, it wouldn't feel less responsive, just more controlled at smaller openings. G2 say 100 cam is stock. Label the 200-400 cams as control cams. And the 025 and 050 as quick pull cams.
With the larger quick pull cams there has to be increased response. With 20% less total pull on the throttle WOT is now almost where 3/4 throttle used to be, and everything in between equates to a smaller movement in the throttle. Sure this doesn't directly equate to increased engine response (depending on gear ratios, gear selection, jetting, engine load, etc) but in general the bike will feel much more response to the throttle. I think its the same with the control cams. It won't make the engine less responsive to throttle, it just makes the throttle action less touchy. Now with a 2K2 ignition where the bike cracks to life hard and fast, and where most people want to add some fly wheel weight to tame the beast, having added control in the lower throttle openings for tech riding can only be seen as a good thing and I have to agree with Glen. With a 2K3 heavier ignition imo the bike is not nearly as lively. I have a 2K3 on a 250 and I don't feel I need more control over the throttle, but would like to be able to hold it wide open without having to rerotate my grip on the throttle. The quick puller throttle will achieve this, but I question how much throttle control I will lose at this expense. It could be one step forwards and two backwards. Only time will tell. Like everything on any bike, so much of it is related to the individual riders preference and what suits our skills and style, while keeping the smile on the dial. |

I called the owner today and talked to him about what I was thinking.
He said the quick throttle comes with a #25 cam. He also said that my KTMs will fit all the other cams without modification. I guess KTM uses Domino throttles. Does Gas Gas too? In the end I'm getting 4 cams so I can play with them and see how they effect things. #25, 50, 200 and 300. I don't need 100 because I have those. Another thing to play with

Good stuff. I know who to ask when I want to 'borrow' a cam jokes. I should have got a 050 with mine. I won't be doing too much testing. Just going to run the 025 and if I don't like it they've thrown in a stock (100) cam so I can still use their setup as I am now. I have a feeling the 050 will be what I'm after.
As per Domino throttles, just about every 2T out there is running one. Pretty standard piece of equipment. |

Pretty sure its not in the standard kit, but thanks for the offer Trev! I think they'll do me a good deal down the track if I'm not entirely happy with the setup. Likely going to cost just as much for postage as parts. Gotta love that!

Does any one know the difference in the "dirt tamer" tube and the ergo cam throttle tube?

I just installed a G2 throttle on my '05 EC300, 2 nights ago. Finally got out for a little rip today, and I gotta say, its pretty smooth. Went with the 400 cam, and it definitely takes out some of the 'blips' when you are pounding over rocks and such. Easy install, nicely machined aluminum, good stuff. While I was at it, I also installed the G2 handguards and new Domino grips that I had ordered along with the throttle. Ready to smash some trees now!

Does anyone have a part number for the throttle system for a 2013 XC300?
G2-20-200D? |

I believe all 2T`s are the same.
