Throttle Lock for f 650

92312

bruce
I was out on my sons F 650 yesterday for a lengthy ride and was annoyed with the throttle not having a lock/cruise device. Where do I find such a device. I was looking on the web yesterday and all I could find was Throttlemeister's for the later model F 650's, nothing was listed for 1999.

Use the Search tool

Hi

If you use the Search tool and enter "throttle lock" all will be revealed.

You have many options from an O ring to a fancy electronic whizbang.

I use the simple wriist rest. Inexpensive, easy to install and can be adjusted on the move.

Throttle Rockers suck. They had to redesign them due to patent issues. The new ones use velcro and are useless.

If you liked the original TR, get the REAL DEAL from the folks who hold the patent, www.crampbuster.com.

Hmmm, I had the velcro model and it worked quite well (lost it somewhere), BUT if the great and powerful Flash says it sucks it must so....

I have a Throttle Miester on my '99 and it works fine. Takes a little practice, but is nice to have on long stretches. I'd recommend you email them for the right model.

AGREED

The new ones just slide around- out of position. Then they just make good conversation...

Flash forgot to tell me that the ThrottleRocker II was a POS so I bought one last spring. :nono

I'd have to rate it as a semi-POS. It works but it tends to move after a while. On a 1K trip, I had to readjust it once. And I noticed recently that it needs another slight adjustment.

Next time, I'll get the original item.

I wonder if mine worked so well because I have foam grips? I did notice I had to really tighten the velcro down, but once I did it was fine.

Had the velcro version and it sucked. Got a throttlemeister and never looked back. As bar end weights they look cool too.

I prefer the old style Throttle Rocker to the new one. The velcro version takes more work to get it adjusted right. I need two hands and all of my weight to pull the material super tight before I velcro it down. If I have gloves on or am sitting on the bike, it just doesn't seem to stay in the right position for very long. Even then 2 hours is about the max and for LD rides that's not good enough. For shorter trips it's fine. I guess I need to switch over to the cramp buster.
