throttle lock I have a 2004 636 ninja just started doing the slow stuff lol., I was thinking about getting a throttle lock I really hate to have my bike idle at 3000 all the time it would be nice if I could do the trick and then get back to 1200 I went to a road hazard show and Bill D had the one I want I just dont know the name of it. any info will be great!!
Thankz Tommy B

Re: throttle lock
his stoppies are on his R1.
here's a thought, just throwing this out there for ya, why not try just turning your idle down and learning better brake and throttle control? i never turn mine past 2k rpms and it doesn't seem to slow me down. don't have to jack wtih it much either because 2k rpms really isn't that high on the motor.

Re: throttle lock
oh ya, i don't see a throttle lock on bill's bike.
and also, if you've never used a lock, you're in for a surprise. they aren't really consistent holding the throttle in place, especially if you have your hand on the throttle and are moving around, it'll still move, just not as quick. that also makes it hard to make quick throttle adjustments if you needed to, like fast SS circles or whatnot.

Re: throttle lock
the one bill d had you locked your throttle to what ever rpm you wanted but you could still give the bike throttle and if you let go it would stay at what ever rpm you set it at

Re: throttle lock
a throttle lock sounds like a great thing to have, and people use it for some really wild tricks, like acros, but i dont think what you have in mind is such a good idea, an idle adjuster is a beautiful thing

Re: throttle lock
Dude, you ride a 636... If you don't want to ride with high idle, it takes three seconds to reach down and turn it down. I ride my bike everywheres, even around downtown in traffic with the bike idling at 3500.

Re: throttle lock
also, dude, engine brake won't make your bike fall on it's face. you're confusing. i think you're making stuff up. if you are at idle doing RL circles (which i doubt) there is no engine brake, the bike is PULLING because you're on idle, no decelerating. i run a 60, but before this i ran just a 50. it's definately not engine brake that is the problem. you just need practice. it doesn't sound like you are at the RL circle area yet. if you are then you've already got SS circles and other circles down so you be comfortable with your gearing and know that you don't have to adjust your gearing just to do a different type of circle.

Re: throttle lock
not a real good idea on these. that's a fuel enrichment on those bikes. it's not like a gixxer where it just opens the butterfly valves. it actually puts more fuel.....not quite as consistant as a screw that opens the butterflys.
