If you have any bike that didn't come with cruise control (old and new), you need to see this video! This video shows you how to install a Kaoko Throttle Lock/Stabilizer on your motorcycle to make long highway trips a breeze! - Авто та транспорт
Great info man! I’ll have to get one for my 06 FZ1. Keep up the work brotha! 👍
You won't be disappointed if you do!
I bought one and installed it just over a week ago. I didn’t have any trouble with the instructions. Installed it in about 15 minutes. Nice quality of materials in the system and the one I have works exactly as advertised. Just adding a little friction so you don’t need to grip so hard to hold the throttle makes things much better. Out on the open road you can tighten it up and cruise all day with only an occasional throttle adjustment needed. My MT09 has enough torque it holds a study speed until it gets into serious hilly terrain. I guess a bike with less power would require more adjustments once it got out of level terrain.
Knowing what it costs these days to cast and machine steel parts, then put a decent finish on it the price is fairly reasonable. I would definitely buy it again.
First!! Also, looking forward to seeing the Iron but trip review. that's one long beer run!
Should be worth it!
Loved the part until I saw the other *shot through the heart* one day...
Also I picked up a nelson right bag today to help my commuting. Can't wait to see your set in action even if it's just around chitown.
Just got to test out some of the new gear last weekend! So far, very pleased.
This is nice. I have a natsy klr. Have watched every st vid
140 bucks for such a simple piece though. That’s wild. I was expecting 20-40 bucks
Definitely on the pricier side for what it is, lol.
ebay has them for $20-25...not sure of the quality tho. anodized metal
In india we get it for 500rs(5.20 dollars)
work harder.
You're not paying for piece You're paying for it's function. Just like anything else
The accelerator of my 100 cc bike was jammed, then it used to get stuck like this, at that time I did not know this ninja technique would be known as cruise control 😁😅
free cruise control, lol.
Thank bro 😌🙏
Happy to help!
Looks good & simple to put on. I'm intrigued, what was it like to use & run with? Was it as good as you expected/hoped? Chilli, UK (with a vested interest)
It is pretty simple to use. I did find it easier to activate using two hands, which kind of can make it cumbersome. However it does serve its purpose very well.
Are they universal? Like would this work with suzi sv650
Thanks for admitting candidly to your mistakes,the fact is the instructions are poorly wrttien. It should clearly specify to unlock (clock wise rotation and adjust so that friction ring is closed to grip. Make sure you hold weight while turning the screw to insure position rrmins until it is tightened, other wise the K never works. your explanation helped me fix mine. Thanks
This bike has aftermarket Rizoma handlebars with ends threaded with M16 thread to take stock Yamaha bar ends. Kaoko make a version for Rizoma barends specifically. Also, cant move controls like that on stock bar, there are pins holding them in place. Someone obviously filed them off before fitting new handlebars.
Correct, Rizoma bars on this bike.
How does it work when you have to stop? Do you have to unlock the lock or can you force the handle to no trottle
It only puts enough pressure to hold the throttle in place. You can twist the throttle to off position when you want to.
Make sure you loctite the grip screws before reinstalling
Great advice!
Cant really see how its easy use when your driving on the highway.. You need to let go of gas lock it and pull throttle again?
*Drops a little ring, has to go clear his mind and try again tomorrow😆
Hey bro, can you give me a review on it now? I am thinking of buying one.
Never had any issues with it. It worked great and allowed me to rest my hand on long trips.
now then .. my problem with this is, ones motor memory . beeing in an emergency situation, then having to remember all this .. possible expect thottle to snap back like normal, only to realize to late that it didnt . hope you havent had any issues like that
When needing to make an emergency maneuver all I need to do is pull in the clutch or roll the throttle forwards. Short of installing an electronic cruise control, there is no way around this.
Will it fit a Suzuki Burgman 400 from 2016? Can you help me find one that does?
Check out Kaokos website, they'll have information about what fits that model.
@@FocusedGarage link me to it, please
kaoko.com/
you searched the internet to find out all the stuf on the bar can be moved?
Hows it working so far?
Love it! Worked great on my 2,500 mile trip.
I’m thinking of getting it for use on my zx-14r.
Pretty Stoked x20
Super stoked.
Does it fit for a ninja 400
Different part number but yes they do offer this for that bike.
I have a fazer800 where can i get one of this?
I recommend checking with Revzilla.
What's the letters stand for on the CC?
It is the brand, Kaoko.
This nut like structure of accelerator
What is this
This is a throttle lock.
Its cool intil you gotta slam on the brakes, cus you ain't gotta be quick enough to dis engage the lock, by the time you done doing all that twisting its gonna be to late, that why I got the brake away cruise control throttle lock cus it automatically unlock when you hit that brake lever, safety is real ride safe not stupid, deuces✌,
If you slam on the brakes by instinct you should be grabbing the clutch too which would cut power to the rear wheel. Also I wouldn't engage this thing at any significant amount of throttle. I understood the risk and used it in ways where I felt in control.
It looks hard to engage that cruise control.
No secure in my opinion 😧
Worked fine for thousands of miles for me and plenty others.
that's basically a screw, that's it, and they ask 100& for it 🤦♂️
I don't know of anything else for less money that looks as sleek and OEM.
That looks like a death trap... Need something to quickly release it..
I could understand how this might not be for everyone. It worked fine for me and I knew the risks.
Death trap? Bruh.... you do NOT use it in the city or suburbs! It's for loooong trips with little to no traffic at all. PAY ATTENTION!!!!

This is not cruise control.
You're showing crotch rocket. How to add to any motorcycle?.
The concept is the same regardless of what bike you are putting it on. Same principle for any motorcycle with a twist throttle.
If you have a limp/lazy/milk-toast bike that goes no where, you don't need something like this anyway! Turn the page and move on to wet rice and limp noodles!
too risky bro... if something happens mid ride.. you're fucked!
All you have to do is roll the throttle forward, or pull in the clutch.
was thinking the same thing
@@FocusedGarage unless you come off wile its is on then it could be a problem
Great. Stop yapping and get it done already !!!!
It’s not cruise control. It’s a throttle lock. You need to stay off of UA-cam.
Sorry to offend. It is a throttle lock. Different from a cruise control but serves a similar purpose. The video covers the differences. This is not as safe as a cruise control, correct.
It locks NOTHING. It adds a bit of resistance to the throttle holding it open wich is easy to overcome. You need to lay down with your mommy and have some warm milk.
