No they dont have that function but I dont think its needed with those cams.
really? you don't feel that off/on jerkiness with those cams? why?
I don't understand so many people feeling the throttle is jerky as decribed. My biggest issue from first riding this bike (as I only have a few hundred miles so far on this one) was the clutch release came on very late and a bit abrupt and jumping from one bike to another kind of highlighted this point. However the more I get used to riding the Connie the more I have become familar with the clutch and now I have adjusted my technique and it seems to pull smoothly with no jerkiness, hesitation, or jumping off the line.

Well my bike does have some miles on it (30K) so possibly if it ever had that issue might have been addressed by previous owner.
I did not know this was something that I needed, but after reading some reviews and all of the your comments here I had to go ahead and order one up.Like I said, I did not know this was something I needed, but after all the raving about it I went ahead and spent the $65.

I'm not impressed, I can't tell any difference. My advice, unless you are having a problem with your throttle save your money.

Drive 50 mph on a straight road, 5th gear, steady. Close and open the gas, nothing crazy but quick. Bike will "cough". Not seen on other (properly done) FI bikes.

I bought a Throttle Tamer several months ago and I am STILL waiting for the correct opportunity to install it...

Hell must have frozen over.... I have it installed! My friend did most of the work (he is a mechanic)... the Grip Puppy was hard to get off. The stock grip was not terribly easy, we used the air compressor method and a screwdriver. It is e kinda glued on. Getting the stock grip back on was a lot harder than getting it off, since the Tamer has a textured surface. But the whole thing probably took us (mostly him) about 20 minutes, tops.
Got on and rode around the neighborhood with stops and tight turns- wow what a difference! SO much easier to control now at low throttle/speed. Very much worth it.
When putting rubber grip back on spray hair spray or corm starch for lube.
