Title: Is there cruise control// throttle lock a simple way to stay at WOT for 50cc
Post by: KYMCO2TCHLTNC on May 08, 2015, 05:29:28 PM: Is there cruise control or throttle lock a simple way to stay at WOT for 50 cc
I used a hose clamp it worked pretty good >I was just wondering if there was a left handed throttle grip and could I hook them togeather and twist both at once.

Post by: Chris0381 on May 08, 2015, 06:38:02 PM: I like that.

Any safety issues anyone can think of ?

Lunging into traffic accidentally when meant to be stopped would be my main concern or an accident and the throttle still pumping.

Post by: wkreps on May 08, 2015, 07:40:51 PM: It's like that with any device. I like this cause it is out of the way and you can just hand twist the throttle back without having to unhook or move any levers.

Post by: Chris0381 on May 09, 2015, 02:19:26 PM: Would these work. Just clamp it down real tight and zoom off.

I used that method on the Harley for 25 years, works great.

Saftey issues someone asked ? Well you're wedging a rubber o-ring between the throttle and the barend lots of bad doo doo can happen. The worst is the gas stays open and you crash going real fast. ;)

For me still worth the risk.

No problem unless I'm going long distance. Then the full tension of holding the spring starts to get to my muscles. Much like it's no problem holding a full can of soda straight out from your body but try doing for an hour solid. Muscles start to get fatigued.

Post by: Chris0381 on May 11, 2015, 03:23:26 PM: I take it the tension on the 150cc scooter is much greater than the 50 cc's.

Ok I'll chime in. Although I used the o-ring on the Harley I've done consecutive 400-500 mile days on the slab on a scoot and never felt "fatigued". Maybe a sore wrist but that's it.

Come on guys man up here!
All we're doing here is adding to the "scootists are wimpy" conversation.
