I thought after a little time and patience someone would have the final say on a throttle lock for the KLR. Though I haven't been through all of the "opinions", most require engineering (which is great if it is dependable at the end) and some are stupid. A cohort put a universal one on his and he looked like a monkey doing a football. Any great successes out there? Rod

I have a Universal and it is functions perfectly but is very bulky. If I were buying one for the first time, I would do the extra work and get the one that you have to tap the throttle housing and put in a screw. I haven't used my throttle lock much since I got my Throttle Rocker. Best $10 I ever spent ont he bike. ~Dennis~ A15 Concord, NC

Having installed NEP's three times I would recommend the CC-3 model of the NEP brand as it has an flat angle coming from the unit that along with a spacer from that to the grip housing only requires a simple sheet metal screw.. (I drill a hole then flatten the end of the screw so it doesn't interfere with the throttle cable inards) The NEP CC-2 on the '98 Concours,90K mi on it and doing fine. I can't compare the other brands as I have not used them. Dan P

Got mine from Fred at Arrowhead. Works great, took about an hour to install and adjust and I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Did have to come up with a very small machine screw and nut to anchor lock to throttle housing. Only thing I needed that did not come with product. Sorry, I don't remember exact brand or model. NEC 3? doesn't sound quite right, but I'll bet Fred will know what it is. Hope this helps, Marshall in Slidell, La 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

Check out Coathanger Cruise Control in Photos/Modifications section. I've been using these for twenty years. Install between inboard end of grip and twistgrip housing. Estimated cost five cents. Clint Y2K KLR

Instead of drilling a hole in the throttle housing, I used a little J-B Weld. Quick, easy, easily repaired in the field. Harry SC

Rod, If you want a cheap throttle lock, which is always engaged, put an o ring between the grip and the housing. I did this to my KLR 250 and it works like a charm. I used the o ring from a BMW oil filter, it's flat sided, don't know if that makes a difference though. If you want one, contact me off list, I'll put one in the mail. Hope this helps. Have fun & ride safe. Anthony D16 '83 R100RS Message: 12 Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 03:44:13 -0000 From: "fishknot2000" Subject: Throttle Locks???

Matthew, Works like a poor mans cruise control. You adjust the manually applied lock mechanism so that it will hold the throttle at a set position yet you can overcome the friction of the device and open or close the throttle at will. You must make micro adjustments to the throttle due to wind, hills, passing traffic, etc. if you want to maintain a set speed. But the throttle lock allows you to relax your grip and rest your right hand. Not as good an investment as my seat from Rocky Mayer, but a close second. I use it regularly when cruising on the freeway, really helps on those long trips. Just my .02 worth, hope this helps, Marshall in Slidell, La 95 KLXC3 "Blackhorse" (in honor of those who served)

Oh ok, Thanks I had a make shift throttle lock after i dumped mine in gravel a while back. Packed the space between grip and bar with sand and rocks. Matthew --- Klx650rider@... wrote:
