If you ever have to make a claim just stick the old throttle back on.

Havent checked the exact warranty conditions but it would surprise me if this has any effect on a warranty claim (other than a claim that the G2 is defect of course). I'm a lawyer so I should know......
This might be different when installing exhausts or playing around with the ecu if not approved by Yamaha. Having said that, you should be fine with an Akra as Yamaha uses the same and supply them through their dealers.

Ok you've all convinced me, I've ordered one as well.
Post back here when you've had a ride or two with it [emoji3]
How so? It's just a throttle tube? <<< (Wow these ads are annoying)

Put mine on, this morning and went out this afternoon. Fitting was very straightforward. The hardest part was getting the grip off the old throttle tube, but luckily I own both a compressor and kitchen sink. The grip went back on fine, but it is still a little loose – but not so much so that I can’t ride. Very surprised to find the stock Yam throttle tube is plastic, but I guess that’s pretty standard, these days.
The new tube has transformed the MT, for me. It doesn't get rid of the on/off power but it does significantly reduce the snatch and the roll-on is so much smoother. I have been spending my time either in B or A, today I was able to properly enjoy STD, as well. No more rev-spikes going over speed humps or potholes. Power delivery is still spot on and while it does take the edge off the throttle response (and I had got used to the snatchyness) it is an altogether more rounded experience. For just over £60, this is a must have. My chicken strips are going to get much thinner in the coming days!!!!

If it doesn't, have it machined down a thou at a time until it does. If you don't have access to a lathe get your best arm going with the sandpaper and don't let anyone see you

Customs is always a bit random.

With the exception of the modified cam, the dimensions of the G2 are very close to the stock throttle. The only difference if the knurling on the G2. If you can get the heated grips on the stock tube, you should have no issues with the G2.
Customs charges on items imported from the USA are levied on two main criteria - value and description. There are certain items which will always attract charges, although motorcycle throttles are not one of them. New goods will always raise an eyebrow and anything over £15 in value generally attracts a charge. What you need is a friendly supplier who understands the systems and keeps the value under £15. This is normally no problem with low value items. If you tried to import something worth $100's, but lied about the value, you would be hit with high charges and the supplier might be in trouble with both US and UK customs.
