Go Cruise Throttle Control and Ryker Rally

[nchangin]

Good morning everyone, before I spend the money, this should work with the Rally right? Put on a 1000 miles in a few weeks, thought my right hand was paralyzed forever. It's coming back.

there are many after market cruise control systems out there. I have not seen this one or know how it works with no further information. The throttle systems are similar on bikes and the spyders so if they say it will work and has good ratings give it a try and let us know....

That throttle control will work on the Rally because of the hand guards.

Those things are designed to rest on the hand brake (which Rykers obviously do not have).

It may not be long enough to hit the hand guard on the Rally. I believe these rely on the front brake lever to function, which the Rally doesn’t have. cueman. I certainly type slow! LOL

It is. QuasiMotoTard has a vid on youtube for it.

I have one of these devices that I used on my VStrom

I'm still waiting on my Caterpillar yellow o-rings which make a highly effective cruise control.

The thing about those is the friction is never removed, correct? With something like the Go-Cruise you can remove the friction quite easily, I have one on my Yamaha

True, but it is not like there is any difficulty twisting the throttle back to idle. In both types, if you suddenly passed out, neither one would return to idle, but probably would be the least of your worries!

Take a look at these. Less expensive, and they work: https://www.crampbuster.com/

Had one of those. Didn't care for it. Problem is, if you remove your hand to shake it down, you slow down. Not so with yellow o-ring.

I have both a throttle 'lock' and a 'crampbuster' (also known as 'wristrest') on my FJR; they will be transferred to the Ryker (one week and counting!)

[Markubis]

I like how this one works, although it's kind of expensive.

FINALLY was able to get mirror off in order to install throttle locking o-ring. Surprisingly it took only one o-ring to lock the throttle. I thought it would take 2 or 3. So now I have 3 extra o-rings. If anyone wants one, PM me your address.

As successfully installed on Ryker:

The only safe cruise type item. Go to Google and type in crampbuster. Completely safe and releases automatically when let go. Your hand only has to lay on the bars to cruise.

O-ring completely safe too.

My friend Duane used his Go-Cruise but modified it with a length of plastic tubing to make it reach the hand guard. It also served to tighten the friction against the grip. He said it would hold OK but not indefinately. I've noticed the same thing on my FJR; bike will slowly slow down and I've used a silicon sleeve to give it more friction. Have not tried mine on the Rally yet but sun will be up soon!

Yeah, with my last bike (actually trike) a Piaggio MP-3 500, It took two Caterpillar yellow o-rings. With one, it did the same thing; slowly slowed down.

But on the Ryker, it appears only one o-ring required for great throttle hold.

[KC61]

O-ring completely safe too.

I respectfully disagree. Anything that holds the throttle open without human intervention is a danger. But the hair band and o-ring thing has been around a long time.

If you have a need to slow down, and deliberately/stubbornly refuse to "intervene" (i.e. appropriately lower throttle level), then one is a buffoon. Makes no sense that anybody wouldn't!

I agree to disagree. O ring is a cheap last resort not my first choice. My take on the use of o ring was to get one that is thick enough to be rolled into the groove between the throttle tube and the housing only when needed and to roll out when not. Not to be there to restrict the auto throttle return as was intended by the builder.

I think you are missing the point again. If an emergency happens and the throttle doesn't return it is a safety issue. That's why they have throttle returns.

It is apparently you have NEVER tried one.

Think about it!: Do you deliberately take your hand off the throttle when you approach a sudden red light to let the weak spring return fuel input to very low, or do you instinctively twist it to idle speed to stop? I'm confident the later is a basic truism.

Give an example of "emergency" whereby you don't instinctively shut throttle off. I suppose if one has a sudden massive heart attack and instantly pass out, it may make a slight difference. But at highway speeds fuel still being injected in your engine is the least of your problems!

Have you ever crashed a motorcycle?? Do you think the 1st or last thing you think of is twisting the throttle closed?
