GC-A1BK GO CRUISE 2 Universal Throttle Control System – Black

A very clean looking and well made device. Does not take up much room on the grip or bother with braking. Easy to deploy and to cancel. Gives you the freedom to really focus on the scenery without constantly checking speed or rpm. Simple to put on the grip or take off to avoid theft. Of course the throttle lock does not "monitor" speed it only holds a fixed throttle setting so you will need to feed in a little throttle when going up a hill, but that will not affect your return to the preset throttle when you crest. Down hill speed will increase as will rpm. One thing to be aware of is that your front brake lever may lift the throttle lock as you put on the brake causing the rpm to rise. Normally though, you will have rolled off the lock setting and be holding the grip closed and possibly the clutch in. You can test this while stationary with the engine running and out of gear by simply pulling on the front brake and watching the rpm change. That said, I recommend lifting the throttle lock well clear of the brake lever when you decide to stop using it. Of course it is not for use in traffic or very curvy roads. I'm a bit of a knee dragger and am usually on the hunt for the twisted roads, but NOW I also enjoy the straights on the way there. I really recommend this if you can just put your ego aside and relax. Good riding! UP Date: I recommend backing off the Go Cruse each time you finish a ride as leaving it tight for a long time will cause a "dent" in the handle bar grip which can effect setting you speed on future trips. Also, if you have a grip that has a large stop flange on the inside end there will be a small increase in diameter where the grip approaches this flange. Setting the Go Cruse in this area gets it will in board on the grip I agree, but it is just enough of a conical up hill that the lever can gradually slide down toward the portion of the grip that is all one diameter giving the impression that the lever is not set tight enough. I suggest setting the lever just short of this increase near the stop flange.

This thing is exactly what I was looking for to augment a form of cruise control to my bike. I tried a knock-off Altas throttle lock and while it worked, it was bulky and awkward. I threw this on as a last ditch effort to see if I can make my longer distance trips more palatable, and let me tell you, this thing is absolutely perfect. It will stay fully engaged (on my throttle, your throttle return spring may be stronger which could change results) at the speed I set it at, and I can *theoretically* take my hand completely off the throttle and cruise at my predetermined speed for a while. Maybe slight adjustments here or there. As an additional bonus, a no-tool removal means that I can take this off quickly and handily for off-road sections where it would get in the way. This is a strong recommendation by myself to anyone that is looking for a solution that is quick, simple, and effective!

Ok maybe I need to get use to it. But first off I’ll say it’s easy to mount onto my throttle grip. 2025 Moto Morini Calibro. It’ hold firmly on the grip with the silicone band supplied. Made out of good sturdy material. I noticed that when I had it “locked” into position sometime it wouldn’t hold the desired speed. Ok I tightened it a little bit more. Thumb screw easy to use even when in motion, a little cumbersome though. Once tightened and held in place it kept the desired speed I chose. It would occasionally loosen up with vibration and I had to constantly keep tightening it. That was my only issue. Hopefully it’ll get easier to use as I become more familiar with its quirks. I chose to just leave it on, it takes a little real estate on the grip, and is bothersome at first but you’ll get accustomed to it being there if you choose to just leave it on. All in all it’s not bad and when it’s doing its job it’s fantastic. Side note; just be careful with it when first trying it. Make sure you leave space between the vehicle in front of you or do it while on an open road. Figure out which way is easier to set it, get comfortable with that. Roll off your throttle and it’s disengaged. That simple.

I took this photo with my Kurakyn grips because so many other people (myself included) wanted to know if it would work with these grips. The grips are chrome and smooth, so I was afraid it either wouldn't stick, or would mark the surface up. Either way would have been bad. I'm happy to report it works pretty great. It ships with a silicon/rubber black band about 3/4 inch wide. You can see I also have the Kurakyn throttle boss attachment. The rubber was a little tight to squeeze around my throttle boss, but it went with no problem so if you don't have something like that in the way, you should have no problem installing the silicon/rubber ring. Installation really easy. (See attached video). VIBRATION: I'm writing this review after taking a 1,000 mile long 4-day journey with the Go Cruise attached. It worked out really well. One question often mentioned was whether it held up well to vibration. Keep in mind I have a Suzuki Boulevard C50T cruiser... it's a fuel-injected, shaft driven bike, so it doesn't have the constant vibrating rumble of a 1800cc Harley. Having said that, it worked fine for me. Does it slip a little here and there? Sure it might. I just tightened the thumb screw a little more until I found the sweet spot. I wanted it tight enough not to slip but not so tight that it would mar my grips. I think it works fine for me. If you tried to run it for 50 miles, you'd probably get some slippage, but you're never going to do that. This is a throttle lock, not a cruise control, so unless you happen to be on some super-flat stretch of Kansas, you're going to accelerate/decelerate too much going up and down hills to leave it unattended for more than a mile or three. I did try it out on a 100 mile trip to Raleigh, NC and at one point I rode for about 20 miles without ever touching the throttle except to bump it up on a slight hill now and then. I'd imagine if you had the harder rubber grips instead of my chrome grips, the Go Cruise would probably really be even MORE solid for you. What little slippage I did feel at first was because it was too loose, and again I have it on a smooth chrome grip, so I've got more polished surface to deal with than most people will. Overall I'm very pleased with the performance for what I paid for it. There are five of us that ride together. After having it for about 10 days, two others bought the same thing after they saw mine. I was going to save for the Kurakyn bar-end throttle lock, but that costs 3 times as much and would require me to remove my throttle boss and I've really become attached to that little device. Just get it. You won't be sorry.

I own 2004 Kawasaki ZX6-R 636 for those familiar with the bikes you will know that it is a sport bike and what it comes get with these bikes is a lot fun at the cost of fatigue of different parts of your body. In my case it was right hand going numb to the point it was hard for me to hold throttle. I decided to get cruise control for my bike just so I can let my hand rest here and there making longer rides more bearable. I decided to buy this little unit since reviews were great and other brand i was looking at was $15 more (Omni Cruise) . When I unit arrived I put on my bike and off I went next day for 200 mile ride. This unit work great when it did. I first set my bike to go 60mph set cruise on and it worked like charm. I was sold but then next few times I tried to use it during same trip I encounter different problem everytime I tired to set it up it would hold speed for a moment then my speed would slowly start to drop 1 mph every 10-15 seconds. I thought maybe its not tight enough try tightening more no change then I decided to take off rubber ring that comes with it attach it directly to my handle grip still same story. I tighten even more to the point I was afraid it would be too tight and I won't be able to disengage it in time if I have to slow down or stop. I came to conclusion that vibrations are the problem. There is no rubber on bottom of cruise control to absorb it therefore it starts to slowly loosen itself. Another problem I found is the way you have to use your thumb to engage GO Cruise. There is really small part at the end of it to push it forward with your thumb which makes it hard to do it if you have it tighten down pretty good It would be better if this was little bigger like the one (Omni Cruise) has. It the end this product did partial job for me. I was trying to return it and go with Omni Crusie but I don't want to pay for return shipping so I guess I will hold on to it and improve it on my own hopefully making better.

I have to say that this item delivered exactly what I needed. I rode the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route on a CRF 300 Rally recently and used the Go Cruise Throttle Control System. After long sessions of off road riding it was truly a blessing to be able to lock the throttle for short periods on the road sections to give my hands a break. The Go Cruise was incredibly easy to install and easy to use while riding. You can easily spin the lock with your pointer finger to loosen and tighten as needed and it's also easy to slip two fingers in to really cinch it down if you need to. It's not "real" cruise control so hills can require adjustment but I found it to be invaluable for this type of riding. I would highly recommend.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 10 years old. Since about 30 years of age, I have been plagued with carpal tunnel in my throttle hand (only when riding, never other times). I've been forced to hole the throttle with my left hand at 70 mph so I could shake out my right, vary hand positions constantly, try palm rests to hold the throttle, and numerous wrist supports. Nothing every worked. I was always leary of losing throttle control with a locking devise, but finally decided I needed something. I can't express enough how pleased I was with this purchase. Cost is super reasonable and it works. Bottom line. I can remove my hand, rest it, shake it out, pet my dog (he rides beside me on a side car), and yet as soon as I grab the throttle and turn it down, I am back in control. It's supper easy to adjust and set. It does slip a bit if you don't set it tight enough, but easy enough to tighten up even at full highway speeds.

My new FJ-09 can't take a Throttle Meister, and this looked like it might do the trick cheaply and effectively. Its low price made low risk to try out. This is a very high quality piece, nicely machined aluminum and I really like the tension adjuster, which is kept from loosening by a retention spring. You set the tension once and never worry about it. This is well engineered and I don't think you'll find any better version of this kind of throttle lock. My only problem with it, the reason it doesn't easily get five stars, is that it's a bit more irritating to use in the real world than I expected coming from the Throttle Meisters used on previous bikes. With this lock you set the throttle by holding the throttle steady and pushing the lock down against the brake lever with your finger. This sounds easy, and it is -- once, or twice, or a few times. The problem is that you'll spend awhile getting the trim just right every time you set it, and that means holding your finger against the throttle lock while you make minute adjustments to get the speed stable. Finally got it right? Now you're going up a hill and you get to do it again. And again, and again. For a quick lock so you can rest your throttle arm it's fine, but it turns out to be way more irritating than I expected over the course of a long day. I kept wanting some way to lock it to the brake lever so that I could just tweak the throttle. On the upside, releasing the lock is a simple matter of twisting the throttle to its stop, after which the throttle works normally. Compared to the fiddling necessary to disengage a Throttle Meister I consider this a big improvement in terms of both safety and convenience. So, it's not all bad even in comparison with the best throttle locks. I've also used a "cramp buster", but those are quite a lot more irritating to use, don't allow you to take your hand off the throttle, and are much lower quality. If you're looking at one of those, buy this instead. If you aren't planning to cruise with the throttle locked for long periods of time this is a great little device that gets the job done for short money, literally a hundred dollars or more less than more sophisticated throttle locks like the Throttle Meister or Kaoko. That pays for a lot of gasoline.
