G2 Throttle Cam
By: seabeegt Date: February 28, 2014, 11:13 am

So I just put a G2 Throttle Cam on last night. Cost me $70 from
KTMtwins. It's the "throttle tamer". Has a 400cam in it.

You know how the low-speed (Less than 30mph) stuff can be real
jerky and uncomfortable? This takes it away. You'll still need
to modulate the clutch a bit, but not nearly as much. I love it
so far. It comes with a detachable encap incase you have
threaded bar handles. Easy install, good purchase. ;)

Oh? good to know! I just found a new item to throw on my short
list. Good post. ;D

It is worth noting that the same effect can be done via the
throttle map using TuneECU 08-13 and I'm sure 14 if/when the
program can be updated for the new system. In fact that is all
the on-board selector does in settings 1-3 with the stock map,
no difference in fueling just 3 different throttle input vs
throttle valve setting maps.

That's cool if u can get the same effect of the G2 via TuneECU.
That'd be cheaper obviou$ly. I went the Vortex route to overcome
my EFI issues. Richening up the circuit definitely helped reduce
the idling problems, but the herky jerky shit I think comes
predominantly from the wide-ratio gearbox mixed WITH the crappy
EFI that the bikes come with. I don't know for sure, but when I
looked at the difference of the throttle tube cams it looked
pretty indifferent. Only a few mm of difference. However, the
initial pull of the G2 leaves some play for the user to have
leway, and not that sudden jerk you get by blipping the
throttle. Had to change up my start-off technique a bit. Gotta
hear the rise of rpm's before I start clutching out. Tell you
what, a tamer throttle combined with a hydraulic clutch = some
muy bueno riding. 8)

I think the 2014 throttle by wire setup solved the "Herky
Jerkiness" of the throttle. Mine's smooth, top to bottom. Of
course, I have to put up with the abs and an ECU that apparently
won't accept a new map. You take the good with the bad, I
suppose.

I can't say anything about the G2 and the price isn't too bad
but mcnut is on the money. Another item to think about to
control herky jerkiness is front suspension compression
compliance. If the bike is bouncing over little irregularities
your hand can move ever so slightly so maybe the G2 helps.
For the bikes up through 2013 a simple reprogramming of the EP
throttle map transforms the bike. And so does the under seat
switch. My 2013 690 has a modified throttle map relative to RPM
and smoothly catches up with the twist grip. The FI is richened
up down low with the O2 engaged. Set on the SOFT position there
is no herky jerky and pulls strongly. And I suspect in the
STANDARD position it's also under control when looking at a
comparison of the maps. The ADVANCE position map is another
animal altogether because when you twist the throttle any amount
the e-throttle follows suit. On the pavement I can live with
the SOFT and in the dirty stuff I prefer the SOFT for now.
Don't a just love these bikes.

Another thought about the throttle, G2 Vs. Map, is that with the
stock under seat map switch it is an easy 1 min job to change
between 3 different throttle maps, no tools or disassembly
required. My research indicates that all the switch changes if
using OEM maps are the throttle maps, setting the switch to 1 -
soft, 2 - performance, 3 - standard all use the same fueling and
ignition maps, only the throttle differ (the exception being the
"Low Quality Fuel" or "0" setting).
I'm in the process of evaluating the available handlebar switch,
I think it's imported by TrailTech ($79.99) but can be had from
JD Jetting or Sicass Racing. Best price is JD Jetting for 69.99
and is stocked.
While this switch does not list the 690 as an application the
plug is correct and the switch values (resistance) match the
stock under seat switch. I will post my findings in a ECU/map
thread soon.

Bruce, please let us know about the switch. I have one with a
Trail Tech name on it that I thought was going to work. It came
with bullet connectors, is three position, and has a kill
button. Last night I ohmed it out and conclude that it's not
what I need. I have the oem connectors for the task however.
