G2 throttle cam

jonz · 06-13-2009, 12:20 PM

Howdy gang,
I wanted better modulation of power when going from off idle to adding power and order the G2 throttle cam with the 400 cam. Now, it takes too long to get to the fun part of power delivery so I need to switch to a 200 or 300 cam. I just want more modulation at the first crack of the throttle. I'm not sure if the 200 is the same as stock or just slightly slower. Looking for feedback from other users.

Also, anyone interested in swapping a 400 for their 200 or 300?

The 100 cam is the as stock. I'm currently running a 200 and its a little too abrupt for off-road riding and the 400 is too mild for road riding. I think the 300 may be the best choice for all around riding. Since my G2 system didn't come with a 300, I may try filing down my 200 to a 300 profile.

Yer gunna have to add metal to get to a 300...

Can't you make a photocopy of the cams and post them, so we have the actual size to use?

I got the 300 cam in mine, works awesome. I ordered the package that had the 200, 300, 400 cams in. I have only tried the 300 so far and is happy with the 300. Makes a uge difference.

I ordered straight from G2. They put a kit together with the 300 cam I wanted for my SE, so I didn't have to pay for any cams that I didn't want.

The 400 works fine in questionable traction riding but when you twist the fun handle, it takes awhile to get to the fun.

Since I only got the 400 cam with mine, I'm going to order another and I'm trying to minimize the number of $25 per cam purchases I make.

For those that have used a 200, can you tell a difference between that and stock?

As I mentioned, I'm just looking for more modulation at the first crack of the throttle when riding dirt.

I finished installing a G3 with the 300 cam and a 16 tooth front sprocket.

It's totally a different machine all around, if you haven't done this mod yet do yourself a favor and get both. Every cheap mod for the return you get from the bike.

It took less than an hour to do both, minus the trip 15 min. to buy a 32mm socket for the front sprocket.

My G2 came with all three 200, 300, and a 400 cam switching between cams I'm guessing, will be less than 10 min.

I did these mods also, and also ended up astounded with how much I liked it. It's amazing. I also went out & bought a 32mm socket, and them promptly figured out that the 1 1/4" socket I already had worked just fine.

OK, I did the mod Dusty showed us, will take the bike for a run tomorrow and give you guys feedback. I wish I could get the G2 tamer kit in South Africa, but no go, so I had to DIY :)

scalci, it doesn't matter where, you put order, pay with credit card or paypal, the stuff gets delivered to you. in one week or 3 weeks, depending how much you want to pay. that's how it's done. ask anyone in europe, or anywhere in the world. and if it's something in Europe that you want, and you're in the USA, the same applies.

PS: Adoons, there is a SA supplier listed at the ergoG2 website.
