Throttle Lock: Excellent, minimalistic, inexpensive

[AV8R]

Sound Off Recreational

Bought one off Amazon for ~20 bucks and with a little effort and tweaking, it works perfect - even though it said it’s not compatible with an ST-1300. I put up a review there also

I have one on my 04 ST, works great. By installing the throttle lock first I could use the thin smooth large washer included between the lock and grip to allow the grip to turn smoothly. Dose not interfere with the heated grips or end weight.

My 1991 ST1100 came with one that had a crusty spring. Being a bit OCD, I replaced it with one from a local shop...also about $20. I took the opportunity to replace both grips, mounting the throttle lock first on the right side, then trimming the grips flush with the handlebar end. Works fine, except on undulating roads...slow up the hill, faster down.....but it's a lock, not a cruise control.

Keep the provided key handy to tighten the spring/screw tension assembly periodically. It does loosen up.

I use the same one. I put a very small screw thru it into the throttle housing to stabilize it. I find it works pretty well.

I did the same thing. But I added a small price of abs plastic pipe cut to fit the under side of the throttle housing to keep it stationary. Glued it to the clamp bracket. Fits between the two cable tubes. The screw idea is a good one....easier.

Can you send the link for that?

Mine is a Visa Cruise. Looks much like the photo AV8R posted BUT...it has a feature that secures the unit between the throttle cable exits.

.50 cent Yellow CAT o-ring - google it or check out ADV rider.
Fits between the grip and the bar end, works fine, etc. Safe your $ for gas

I use the Go Cruise 2. Very simple to use.....

I tried using the Vista Cruise, but it seemed like I'd have to cut the grips down which I didn't want to do, so it's still sitting new in the box.

I ended up getting a Go Cruise which works well for giving my wrist a break, and is much easier to install.

No need to cut anything down unless you have some dirtbike style grips, with an oversized flange. The lock mounts between the right switch housing and the grip. It works by pinching down on the nylon throttle tube that the grips and carb cables mount onto.

Yep, I use the stupid simple Go Cruise and also have Mr Igofar's .50 cent Yellow CAT o-ring.

I use the Go-Cruise also and am quite happy with it.

Anybody got a picture of the yellow o ring in situ

 

[Andrew Shadow]

Here is a post with two pictures- one with it in the active position and one with it in the inactive position. The text includes the Caterpillar O-Ring part number.

You can also just go down to Ace Hardware and get one of their black O-rings. It works too.

This one works Perfectly on the ST1100 with minor adjustments. Also works with BMW GS1100 Grips.

What I like about the Go Cruise compared to the throttle locks and O-rings I have used is that it acts like half a cruise control and sets a minimum speed. Set it to hold a speed and when a hill is encountered roll on what throttle is needed to hold speed to top the hill then release it and it goes right back to the selected speed on the backside of the hill. Locks need adjustment uphill and down.
