G2 Throttle Tamer Info & Review

Send them a quick email as I think that part number is for the FZ1 & FZ6. They are very helpful people, email here: [email protected] From what I can gather they seem a bit messed up with their numbers, as in they can have different numbers even for the same bike. Worth giving them a quick email though to be sure.

I was waiting for this review for weeks as it seems like the perfect solution for me!
Anyway I'm on my own in Holland anyway ;-)

OK, Yamaha throttle grip part numbers:
2011 FZ8: 4YR-26240-02
2012 FZ8: 4YR-26240-02
Those are both the same as the MT-09.
So it is deffo the '11-'12 FZ8 G2 that you want to order. Just very odd that the instructions that came with mine show that I've received:
FZ8 '11-'12 # 40-4Y-136Y
yet my confirmation email shows I ordered
FZ6 '04-'12 #40-4y-130-3
I'll email them ASAP to see what they actually sent me but as above its deffo FZ8 '11-'12 that matches the MT09's throttle.
Just email them and make sure they are sending you one that fits the FZ8 and all will be fine. Will let you know when I get a reply questioning the reason for the inaccurate confirmation email.

Is it like that for half the throttle opening in A though?
Or is it just the initial first few mm that's been dulled?

Bit more digging and:
2011 FZ8: 4YR-26240-02
2012 FZ8: 4YR-26240-02
2007 FZ6: 4YR-26240-02
2012 FZ1: 4YR-26240-02
So it doesn't actually matter which one you order, they are all the same part with the same cam. I'm guessing that they just send out whatever they have in stock regardless of what you order.
Also I see on my instructions that the tube they've sent me fits:
R1 99-13
R6 99-12
FZ1 01-13
FZ6 04-13
FZ8 11-13
V-Max 09-12
So as long as you order any of the above you'll be fine
I think the problem is although all the bikes above use the same part exactly, for some reason G2 have a different part number for each one, probably so they can monitor stock levels maybe.

The first few mm have been tamed down, then it just ramps straight back up to normal, the unknown is whether the 'ramp' part of the new throttle matches that of the stock throttle. Technically speaking it should be duller until it reaches the stock diameter but I didn't notice it being any duller at all as all I had to do was move my wrist a few more mm to get the big rush. For example, say with the stock throttle you get the big rush after opening it 10mm, with the tamer you'd have to open it 13mm. Yes its a little further round BUT if you move your wrist just a little quicker you're still getting there at the same time. Movement around the throttle and time are two different things. If you could only ever open your throttle at a set given speed then yes it would take longer to get there and would feel duller, but its all in your wrist, that big rush is still there and still at the same time, you just have to move your wrist a little quicker to get it. If you get what I mean?

I should be able to confirm this when they get back to me, with the time difference I'm guessing I'll get a reply Monday evening/Tuesday.

From Gary at G2:
"Sorry for the confusion with this order. We have made a change to this a few years ago to a shorter (130mm) tube. So in truth, the throttle for the FZ8 should be 130mm in length with a 400Y cam. If you receive something different, please let me know!
Again, very sorry for the confusion!"

Sorry if you guys consider this a SPAM, but I wanted to try and clear up any confusion! First, I apologize for our late start in confirming the FZ-09 application (and also my ignorance that this model is an MT-09 on your side of the pond!). The part number for this model is 40-4Y-130. HOWEVER, the previous part number was 40-4Y-136, before we decided to shorten the tube to 130mm to best match OEM Yamaha. In addition, our web shopping cart incorporates a coding system after the part number (ex. 40-4Y-136-5) so we can track which models generate sales. Yes, our system sorely needs updates, but rest assured, any order for an FZ Tamer throttle or Quick Turn throttle will get the correct 130mm tube with "Y" series cam. I promise that the quality of our product will FAR exceed the quality of our website! I am happy to answer any questions at [email protected] or 815-535-3236. Again, if this post breaks any forum rules I sincerely apologize. Thanks! Gary
