Just been searching for this without joy hence this post. Does anyone produce a quick action throttle for the GS12?

OK - I guess by the lack of response that no one knows of a solution. I'll carry on looking and report back if I find one.
Is the HP2 throttle layout the same
Guess this is an obvious starting route to see if there's any difference, noting the HP2's intended usage

I believe the R1200S uses elliptical throttle body pulleys, but my dealer tells me the pulleys themselves are not sold seperately; you'd have to purchase (or borrow) a pair of complete throttle bodies.
I'd be very interested to hear the results !

I did take a long hard look at this. There's some money in it for someone! The throttle action is just too long and it makes the bike feel much slower. My KTM Adv has a much quicker throttle action and is far more fun as a result.
Back to the GS - I nearly started to work on this one but in the end it was easier to flog the bike. The best option is to replace the plastic moulding which the throttle cable at the grip-end goes around. Making this moulding larger diameter would achieve what you want without having to mess with the actual throttle cams.
Initially, I was thinking of something which you could just fit/glue on top of the existing moulding, but decided this wasn't a good idea as it could come off and jam. Next step was to be to take the existing moulding off, get it scanned, and get some larger diameter ones made up by a plastics fabrication shop. I didn't get this far as it would have involved paying up some cash.
Putting new throttle cams on the throttle bodies looked far too fiddly.
The moulding in question is easily seen by undoing one screw underneath the throttle grip housing. This pops the top off the cover so you can see it. It looks like you can disassemble the white moulding bit quite easily.
Have fun!!

Thanks Tobers - I'll give it a go. I know you can buy a new cam for Suzukis so hope that I can do something like that for the GS 
Yep - there is a chap who does them for Suzukis. Getting in touch with him and suggesting a big demand from GS owners would probably do the trick.
Once you have the moulding, it's money for old rope I reckon.
