Aftermarket Motorcycle Throttle Lock And Cruise Control | Uses, Advantages


If you ride a motorcycle for long distances, you have likely experienced hand fatigue. Throttle brakes are a cheap and easy way to give those aching muscles some relief without stopping. It makes the throttle stick to a certain position by pushing and rubbing it. It also allows you to turn the throttle stick to adjust your speed if necessary

Motorcycle cruise control is a device that allows the rider to set a speed on the bike and then automatically maintains that speed without having to use the throttle. It’s a great convenience when riding long distances, especially on open freeways where a lot of time is spent at a single speed. It’s also a great safety feature, allowing the rider to focus on other things while the bike maintains a safe speed.

Electrical cruise control is a safety feature that allows a user to maintain a constant speed by adjusting the throttle of the motorcycle. This is an electronic locking mechanism that prevents the motorcycle from being over-revved. The speed can be adjusted by the user in a few different ways; by using the cruise control button on the handlebars, either from the handlebars or the rider or using a dash-mounted button. The system requires a power source, a voltage of 12 volts or 24 volts.


Throttle Locks allows a rider to keep a constant speed regardless of the speed of the motorcycle. The rider adjusts the throttle to maintain the desired speed, and the cruise control maintains the preset throttle position. It is a safety feature that prevents the motorcycle from being over-revved at high speeds. There are two types of cruise control; mechanical and electrical.



Types Of Motorcycle Throttle Locks:

THROTTLE SLEEVE MOTORCYCLE LOCKS

Like other motorcycle throttle locks, a throttle sleeve motorcycle lock holds the throttle in place using friction. The friction overpowers your motorbike's throttle body return spring. A throttle sleeve lock is easy to engage and disengage. You simply use your thumb because it is always within reach. Most throttle sleeve motorcycle locks are universal and not built for specific bike makes or models. 

RUBBER GRIP MOTORCYCLE THROTTLE LOCKS

This type of lock ensures you don't constantly grip the throttle, tiring your wrist. You can easily control it using your thumb and forefinger. Most of these throttle locks use a composite material that acts as a spring. It has the right amount of tension to grab a motorcycle grip. The locks have no moving parts or switches and can be installed and removed in seconds. However, it is worth noting that these motorcycle throttle locks take up grip space and can make handlebars feel a little cramped.

BAR-END MOTORCYCLE THROTTLE LOCKS

The outstanding feature of bar-end motorcycle throttle locks is they do not take up any space on handlebars. Each lock features a simple and robustly-designed friction nut that is integrated with a bar end weight. You may have to adjust the lock a little to make sure it makes light contact with the rubber throttle sleeve. These motorcycle throttle locks mount securely to bikes and are not susceptible to theft. Once installed, they may not need any adjustments.

THROTTLE ASSISTS

Throttle assists are easy to use as you can engage and disengage them with your thumb. You can adjust the throttle lock even when you're cruising at 70 miles per hour. You don't have to reduce speed or stop to adjust the lock and it mounts securely to your bike. However, these types of throttle locks have one big disadvantage. They are usually designed for specific motorbike makes and models. -TheDrive
