I have been considering adding a Throttle Tamer to my '12.
Have adjusted my cables to remove what I felt was to much free play in the throttle from the factory.
But still low speed roll on sucks, and even shifting at low speeds and low throttle position seems hesitant from a return to throttle stand point.
I have searched and read the threads on the tamer and snatch.
Interested in possibly using one of the cams that decrease rotation to full throttle.
Would like opinions from riders that have gone to the 025 and or the 050 cam.
Do these cams also seem to remove the throttle snatch?
Will the 050 10% cam allow for full throttle without hand repositioning?
TIA

guhl reflash will work perfect for that!!! :)

I have both a Throttle Tamer and a Ghul re-flash and I'm very happy with the combination. Same throttle rotation for idle to WOT. No repositioning but but I get better control with roll on out of a turn. And the Ghul just gives better low end response.

JS_racer, have read most of the posts on this topic, seems like the flash is preferred to removing the flies and using a power commander. I am considering doing this but it will more that likely be over the Winter months.

Rhino, does this mean that the tamer still has the same rotation to fully open as the stock tube, I can not go from idle to WFO without a slight reposition of my hand on the throttle. Could only do it if I started with my hand rolled way up high on the throttle. This would be fine on say a drag bike, but I do not want to have to move my hand around on the throttle to cover the whole range. Was also looking at the 10 or 20% size increase with a different cam.

Yes. The travel is the same on the default profile of the Tamer.... only the rate changes (it initially opens slower than stock, then progressively makes up for it being faster than stock).

I have tried the 25, 50, and 100 cams but like the 100 the best. I don't have to reposition my hand to go WOT.
