Kaoko Throttle Lock Review at RevZilla.com

[@coryure7540]

I’ve been using one for a couple of years and 10’s of thousands of miles and I’ve found it’s more throttle resistance than throttle lock. I can adjust it to that “sweet spot” and it adds just enough tension to be able to rest my hand on the throttle like I can on the left grip. This greatly reduces fatigue from holding the throttle for hours on end and with just slight pressure I can adjust for up and down grades. It does lock well also, but the above method works best for me.

[@organichotdog3807]

That's exactly the info I was looking for. I Thank you!

[@yeejay6396]

​@@organichotdog3807same. Needed that

[@kleinbottled79]

Doesn't make much sense forcing that 'BSD' acronym when you have to explain it every single time anyway.

[@TheUtahman11]

NAH, GOTTA ASSERT MY FRAGILE MASCULINITY

[@sixpath]

yeah its fucking cringe

[@yeejay6396]

Lol what

[@oceantri]

Have one on my 06 FJR 1300, works great!

[@colterino]

Great tool. Took out the twitch from my Africa, twin. Adjustable, reliable and very, very useful. 👍

[@ChristopherElrod]

Go Cruise Motorcycle Throttle Control... $20. Simple, effective, cheap, and universal. I have had one on my DR650 for the past 4 years. No complaints.

[@jefftornquist2561]

I put a Kaoko on my 2020 CB500X with BarkBuster hand guards. On the first day of a 5000 mile trip to the west coast I could not get it to lock consistently. With the constant tightening and untightening whenever you have to speed up or slow down (like going through small towns), eventually the screw that holds it all together unscrewed itself and fell off somewhere on the road. I ended up with a very expensive paper weight. Replaced it with a simple clamp lock which worked fine the rest of the trip. I don't recommend this product.

[@greenidguy9292]

I find it questionable on Revzilla’s part that they respond to you. I appreciate you sharing your experience.

[@604roger]

What clamp lock did you buy?

[@JojoCrazyCat]

I just bought it for the FZ 07. Needed it for the hard engine breaking. Cant let your hand off the throttle when your hand gets tied. So this will help much for those who ride a long time on your bikes.

[@TheScatman89]

cool im considering this too

[@adjbob56]

ECU flash can help with hard engine braking (that is an emission control problem to reduce unburned fuel as decelerate - but it messes up smooth corner entry)

[@CRMK_Ranches]

I bought one for my 2001 R1150GS BMW. Installation was a breeze. But my kit did not come with the plastic thrust washer which is CRITICAL for the BMW. It's not working like in the video. So I'm a bit disappointed with this product. For the price I would think a .02 cent plastic washer should have been included...

[@chasiu75]

The one for my Honda CBR500R came with a nasty sticky cheap black paint. I had to wipe it off before being able to get it to work. Took over an hour to install having to clean up that mess first. For the price couldn't they powder coat it or something?

[@davebrann6946]

Decent product but very expensive for what it is.

[@RazorSPoint]

Yes, but it is still a niche product. That means they propably produce it, when somebody orders it and they don't make so much prefabricated pieces. If this get's more mainstream, it would get cheaper. But I knew this kind of thing already 5 years ago. And still it's not cheaper ;)

[@enb3810]

Thanks, revzilla.

[@TheDeceptikron]

2 things they all have in common, you cant use bar end mirrors with them installed.

[@Yonex333]

You only mentioned one thing

[@turtlepowersf]

@@Yonex333 i guess each mirror is 1 thing

[@morganmitchell4017]

@@turtlepowersf but it only prevents you from using *one* bar-end mirror :p

[@evelynschuetze705]

Will this fit onto a 2018 Indian Scout

[@RevZilla]

Kaoko does make a specific throttle lock for the Scout, but we're currently out of stock on it. It's part number INDTB100. -DrewZilla

[@markgr1nyer]

Hi. Does this automatically reset every time you close your throttle or if you find the sweet spot can you just leave it alone and it will hold the throttle but still be easy to close throttle but when opening the throttle it will have the same resistance?

[@RevZilla]

It doesn't reset it totally, so you can generally find the sweet spot to set the throttle at any position you want. The more you close the throttle, though, the more likely the screw is to loosen a little bit. So every so often, you may need to do a quick twist of the throttle lock to increase the pressure a bit. -DrewZilla *bit.ly/Kaoko_Cruise_Control

[@SkjoedtDj]

i have an Suzuki SV650 2019 yosimure edition with standart OEM handlebar. But i got the mirros: "Rizoma Lunar Bar End Mirror" witch comes with a specific bar-end. How can i mount my Kaoko AND my mirros? The mount/clam dosnt fit the Kaoko's round-bar-end "nut" What to do? The Kaoko is for my motorcycle model.

[@MindBodySoulOk]

$140 is never ever happening

[@fensn6172]

Hi, I just bought a Honda vfr800f 2018, is there a 2017-2018 throttle lock for this bike, or just order the old kaoko? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

This should be the correct option, though keep in mind that Honda only offered the VFR here up to the 2015 model year. I don't think it has been changed, though. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/kaoko-throttle-lock-honda-cbr-vfr-vtr-f6b

[@nixie2462]

Now that I finished my own throttle lock, the Kaoko looks like crap in comparison, just good for the price.

[@jonfeuerborn5859]

Are you even a real biker if your mod is only a 1 on the Beard Scale Difficulty ®meter? I suppose somebody thought that was pretty clever? Probably the same guy that thought that "gnarled" was a good word to describe a toothed wheel? Is it made out of rough old tree bark or something? C'mon guys. Don't make it hard to watch your videos, especially when you're trying to sell stuff.

[@TheOneXLGI]

It's not a throttle lock.

[@postmortemarg]

Looks easy to steal

[@XxBABYBOOSExX]

Then its easy enough to take it off whenever ur not using it lol. Annoying? Sure, but then ull never gotta worry.

[@Moxyator]

Just as easy as the bike is to steal? Your Sat Nav Mounting etc etc !

[@VE4NSA]

LOL... Australian based company and video says south African.. sorry folks get your message straight

[@SewGurl58]

WOW!!! Maybe consider 20% of the market and lose the degree of beard difficulty. That was seriously off-putting for those of us females who do our own maintenance. I’m a regular RevZilla customer, but for this particular product I think I’ll give someone else my business. Sorry Zilla, shave the beard and maybe be a little less misogynistic.

[@ericw1261]

This video is from 2015. I actually don't think they use the BSD anymore.

[@robokid20001]

Don't get your panties in a twist over something completely harmless. Go find something else to get upset over.

[@gkm3838]

Misogynistic: 'adjective. reflecting or exhibiting hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women. reflecting or exhibiting ingrained and institutionalized prejudice against women; sexist: misogynistic attitudes stemming from the highest corporate level'. Over-exaggerating a bit aren't you?

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

Women grow beards too. Not only that, men get pregnant now as well. In fact, my grandfather is a 14 year old Chinese girl and his beard is incredible. You should try to be less ageist, misandrist, genderphobic, transphobic and hirsute phobic. Science is truly amazing.
