We’re all aware of the FZ6’s nasty-ass on/off throttle response. I’d had great luck with a Throttle Tamer on my FJR so I thought I’d give it a go on the FZ. I can report from this morning’s ride that it’s a significant improvement. The Throttle Tamer, along with getting all the slack out of the throttle cable and setting the idle to 1,600 RPM has resulted in a throttle that I consider to be well within the acceptable range.
Hi Scot,Its kinda BS that YOU have to grind down the end to make it the same as the stock throttle tube.. I agree, that's what I would have done as well..
I'd give them a call or drop a note about the lenth, its really a safety hazard if a newbe installs it and doesn't notice the throttle grabbing the bar end or releasing slowly...
As a side note, I keep my idle at 1,000 (doesn't clunk as bad going into first and I want the engine braking as well). When riding the twisties, I keep the RPM's at least 5K, no clutch mods, stock levers, Scorps, no PC.
I don't have any problems getting rolling nor any snatchyness as it sits... Maybe the 07 and up is better, FI wise, the higher RPM's when riding aggressivly as well...
Hey guys, I was emailing back and forth with Gary at G2 and they are now shipping the Throttle Tamer with the correct length. I just ordered one.
I must have a rare fz6 because I do not have any issues with the throttle or clutch. Maybe it is where I have rode bikes all my life (since I was 8), who knows.
Glad it is working for you
Installed my throttle tamer a few days ago. Totally transformed the bike. Starts, down shifting and applying power in corners is so smooth now! I really cant say enough about how good this mod is. My tamer had the correct length btw.
