Thoughts on twitchy throttle at low speeds?

I'm heading to luke afb next.

When I grow up, I wanna be just like you!!! Only noobs ride in standard mode and the pros (like you) ride in B mode! lol!!!!

Riding in B mode doesn't make you a hard ass rider. Some people like the comfort and ease of riding in standard mode. Nothing wrong with that. There is plenty of fun to be had in any mode!

Just finished riding the FZ with the Throttle Tamer and I didn't really care for it. Again these are only my opinions yours may differ.
In normal straight line starts and acceleration it seems OK but no dramatic improvement. When attempting slow speed technical maneuvers, like moving U turns, figure 8's, and U turns from a dead stop, I found it to be non linear when applying the throttle, which is actually consistent with the product design and intent.
It was too unresponsive in the beginning and then the throttle would come on again. My overall impression was; though not perfect I prefer the stock set up. 

Nice. Curious if you notice a difference with the new cam profile

You can see from the charts, B mode is the most predictable as it's linear, and has the lowest "kick" on tip-in stock.

My solution was getting a handy little item called the Throttle-Rocker. It is basically a palm rest for your throttle hand. It has a Velcro strap and a wide rubber band you put on around the throttle which provides a secure anchor to the Rocker. You won't believe how much easier it is to master the jump this bike has. I never take the bike out of B-Mode now. Made by Aztec Cargo, you can get it on Amazon for about 11 bucks. simple to install. I also changed to a softer grip set on my bike. The FZ-10 will wear your body out in a hurry. Let me know if you need help tracking this down.

This.  


It is adjustable on the fly for a reason.  I myself ride about 95-99% in B mode with Traction at 1.   I live in FL and I want my responses from the throttle more immediate.  It's not about being L33t or a bad ass because I ride in B.... It's because I prefer the responsiveness of the throttle because it fits my aggressive riding style.  The low speed (>5 mph) chopping doesn't bother me too much, but I see how some may not like it.  I don't experience much slam jam traffic, so I can see how it can be annoying if you're electronics aren't set to the situation.  On my recent trip to GA I found that on the highways I prefer A mode when I had to intervene in throttle changes, when I wasn't using cruise control. I also saw better gas mileage in A mode. When I got to ATL I set the bike to STD and possibly had it on Trac2... might have been 1, can't 100% say with certainty, but it wasn't bad at low slam jam traffic stop and starts.  I think I was experiencing lower chopping as well. 

Moral of the story, if you use the "set it and forget it" mentality when using the electronics you are missing out on the full potential of the bike.  Many may be ok with that, to each their own. 

I don't mind the low speed stutter, I just hate the snatchy on/off throttle response and all the engine braking. The fueling on this bike sucks and needs work, just like the FZ09, and the FZ1 before it. And before you school me on it being the characteristic of a torquey liter bike, I've ridden the KTM 1290 super duke, a Speed Triple, BMW S1000R, and a couple other modern liter bikes and Yamaha is the only one that has the abrupt snatchy fuel cut off and heavy engine braking.
