you can get a adjustable power valve called trusty, that should do it but its a bit pricy

Thanks for that, but I am looking for something a little simpler. I had that with my KTM and was always messing with it. I am thinking the cam system is what I am looking for.
I have used one in the past. Definitely makes the beginning of the Throttle progressive. I have found that I would eventually return to the sock cam. For me I find I tend modulate traction though gear selection and clutch. I tend not to have issues with throttle control. So I would say good product for the right person. For me I'm actually looking at their quick turn model so I do not have to change my wrist position so much. I have noticed that I prefer the shorter pull of my KTM that has a 36mm carb vs the 38mm on the GasGas.
Now for a second answer. If you are looking for very precise control below where the power valve opens the G2 will work really good for this. Where I now live there is enough rock that it never really gets that slick. When I think slick like this, I thing wet hard clay like one would fine in a river bottom in IOWA - Grease
Just recenty I added a 1mm shim to the power valve and it seems to have helped make it smoother

I am looking for a 4T type roll on. The trails here in the winter are filled with off camber roots and rocks that are really slick. I find myself taking tree samples more than I like

How are you shimming the PV?

Yep! But there is a big difference in price, between the Rekluse and G2. Most everyone here run the Rekluse now. My buddy just brought out his new Beta 300 yesterday with a Rekluse 3.0. He loved it.

I know you stated no weight but other than jetting it fat..........or backing off on some timing. One of the other members tried the S3 23oz fly wheel weight and had reported that it was as close to a John Deere without being green!

Thanks guys! I really want to stay away from the fly wheel weight, because there are times when I ride the desert also. The rear sprocket is a 48 which I do need to change to a 50 or 52. I was thinking can system because it is suppose to calm the bike down and it is easily made stock again.

Roscoe always amazed me how he could make that thing work so well with the stock, uber high gearing? When you gear it down the need to calm it down, over here on the wet side anyway, will be even more apparent? The G2 works very well on my 300.

Sorry for my ignorance, but wont it slow the motor down more than I would want for desert riding.

Thanks for that read. After reading, that may be an option.
I put a 1mm thick shim in the governor mechanism by bulling the side cover, removing the governor, and putting in the shim. Takes some work. What is interesting before I did this I was richening the needle to get the power smoother when the power valve opens. With the shim I had to drop the needle a clip and it may still be too rich. Just to be clear the shim is not magic. I was just working on trying to make it smoother when it cam on the power valve.
