Kayoko Throttle Lock

[Blaine]

Short and sweet: S-10...Kayoko Throttle Lock....It took longer to get the tool kit out from behind the cowling than it did to correctly install the thing. I rode with it 400 miles yesterday, and it is flawless and capable of a fine range of adjustment (stiff to barely engages). Aside from being a little pricy, it give it Mucho Thumbs Up ::015::

I agree. I only use mine for a few seconds at a time just to get the blood back in my hand. But would hate to be without it.

Where did you buy your Kayoko throttle lock? I tried to order one from Twisted Throttle today and they said it will be "weeks" before they get any in. I can't wait weeks.

Appreciate any suggestions.

After a 3K recent tour, I've concluded I prefer a $20 Go-Cruise to both the Kaoko and Throttlemeister on my other bikes. YMMV.

The go-cruise is the ticket. I love mine and with the cost savings I can add another few tank fulls of fuel.

Just got my kaoko from advdesigns.com a few weeks ago so they probably still have some in stock.

+1 on Kaoko....better adjustment than the go-cruise, which was ok for short distances, but impossible to fine adjust.

Kaoko worked like a champ last week on my 300 miler down to Chattanooga (and back)...expect to get a lot of use in two weeks when I take off for WY.

It's all a personal thing. I installed the Kayoko Throttle Lock on my wife's old Spyder. We both absolutely hated it. Too much of a hassle to go between locked and completely disengaged (throttle snapping back when released). More than once I heard my wife pull into a gas station and listened to the engine race as the throttle got accidentally stuck by the Kayoko. I don't want to think about my throttle lock. Go-Cruise has been the perfect answer.

IMO, the trick is to have the little allen screw tight enough so the wheel doesn't move. That keeps it from unloosening and turning too far when not engaged.....Used with a throttle rocker, it's been real reliable for me.

So with the go cruise, I have found it slips really easy


Any tips/tricks on what you guys did to make it grip better? I thought about some electrical tape under the rubber thingy it comes with, any other ingenious idears?

I don't use anything. It does slip, but I usually only have it on for a very short time to give my hand a brake. I just ignore the slipping.

I have Grip Puppy's on and the Go Pro will slip some, but only needs to be raised to a higher rpm and then backed off. It will hold for quite awhile.

You may try using electricians friction tape. I think that may work the best.

Go Cruise includes a rubber sleeve that is to be used to tighten the grab of the gizmo if needed. I haven't had any issue, but this is on a heated grip bike and the grips are firmer than the non-heated ones.

I ride with my right index finger lying on top of my Go-Cruise so I can fine tune it and keep some lite pressure on it.

I've been using a Go-Cruse. It's OK but I have broken one. It does creep due to the spring pressure from the throttle. I put a ranger band (bicycle inter tube) around the grip and the Go-Cruse.
I would consider a Kaoko but I don't find a exact model (S/10) and the price is terrible for what you get!

 

[WRW9751]

I e-mailed Kaoko today and got a answer right away. The model number is Yam 630. I will consider one when they become more available.

I've had a Kaoko throttle control on my S-10 since September 2011, and I use it in combination with a ThrottleRocker (http://throttlerocker.com/). Mainly just use the ThrottleRocker, but when my right-hand really needs a rest or fingers need to get the tingle out of 'em then I crank down the Kaoko. I didn't have any problem finding the Kaoko even back then, though I can't for the life of me remember where I got it from.

May be replacing the Kaoko with an interesting new development shortly... More on that soon!

I just came back from a 4,000 miler...I had the Kyoko on probably for half of it...I love this thing. Especially on freeways, easy to use and works great.

Now with that said, it does require adjustment...I first installed it with an additional washer, rode 1,000 miles and had to take it apart (real easy) to remove the washer and it worked fine.

I would recommend it highly for any long trip.
