Cruise control meccanico per BMW boxer LC e bicilindriche F

Tutto quello che devi sapere prima di ordinare

Scheda tecnica, dotazione, consegna e garanzia: qui sotto ogni dettaglio verificato sulla documentazione ufficiale Kaoko.

Descrizione Cruise control for BMW R 1250 GS, R 1200 GS LC, F 850 GS and F 750 GS

The throttle stays where you leave it, and your right hand can rest. This Kaoko mechanical cruise control replaces the right handlebar end weight: as you open the throttle, tighten the ring with your little finger and the grip maintains the selected opening, even on long stretches of motorway. No electronics, no wiring, and no modifications to the motorcycle.

Which BMW models it fits

Motorcycle Years With which handguards
R 1200 GS LC (including Trophy and Rallye) 2013–2019 Original BMW
R 1200 GS Adventure LC 2013–2019 Original BMW
R 1200 R LC 2015–2019 Original BMW
R 1250 GS 2019–2023 Original BMW or Barkbusters BHG-085
F 750 GS and F 850 GS 2018–2023 Original BMW or Barkbusters BHG-085
S 1000 XR 2015–2018 Original BMW or without handguards
F 900 XR 2020–2023 Original BMW or without handguards
F 900 R 2019–2023 Without handguards

The kit also fits motorcycles without handguards. It is intended only for liquid-cooled models: the air- and oil-cooled R 1200 GS and R 1200 R use a different Kaoko part number. The R 1250 GS Adventure is not among the models listed by the manufacturer: for that model, and for any special configuration, contact us before ordering.

How it works

The knurled ring screws onto the bar end weight and presses against the throttle grip through a thrust washer. When tightened, it creates the friction that holds the throttle in place; when loosened, the grip moves freely again and closes by itself. It locks the throttle opening; it is not a speed controller: the motorcycle slows down uphill, accelerates downhill, and the device does not disengage automatically when you brake. You can always open and close the throttle by hand, even when the device is engaged.

What you receive and how to install it

The package includes the Kaoko bar end weight with friction ring, the thrust washer, and a 2 mm Allen key. Remove the original right bar end weight, fit the Kaoko one using the original BMW central screw, place the washer between the ring and the grip, and adjust the resistance with the set screw. With the original handguards, the handguard mounts directly to the Kaoko bar end weight.

Do you have Barkbusters handguards on an R 1250 GS, F 750 GS, or F 850 GS? The cruise control is compatible with the Barkbusters BHG-085 mounting kit. All models are in the Kaoko cruise control range.

Perché sceglierlo
  • Mano destra a riposo: nei trasferimenti a velocità costante polso e avambraccio non devono più tenere aperto il gas.
  • Gas più stabile in fuoristrada: sullo sterrato sconnesso riduce le aperture involontarie dovute ai colpi.
  • Zero elettronica: niente cavi né centraline, sostituisce il contrappeso originale.
  • Si comanda senza lasciare la manopola: la ghiera si stringe e si allenta tra mignolo e palmo.
A chi è consigliato
  • A chi viaggia con una GS, una F GS o una XR e macina lunghi tratti di autostrada e statale.
  • A chi fa mototurismo adventure e vuole il gas più stabile sugli sterrati sconnessi.
  • A chi a fine giornata sente la mano destra affaticata o intorpidita.

Il produttore lo destina a motociclisti esperti, da usare solo quando la strada lo consente.

Three pieces and a key

Three pieces and a key

The package includes the Kaoko bar-end weight with the friction ring, thrust washer, and 2 mm Allen key for adjustment. The fastening screw is not needed: reuse the original BMW center screw.

The original handguards remain

The original handguards remain

On GS models with BMW handguards, the handguard bracket attaches directly to the Kaoko bar-end weight, just as it did to the original. No separate adapter to buy.

The ring under the little finger

The ring under the little finger

While opening the throttle, squeeze the ring between your little finger and palm: the throttle stays at the selected opening. To release it, repeat the same gesture while closing the throttle. When disengaged, the grip automatically returns to the closed position.

Also on the F 750 GS and F 850 GS

Also on the F 750 GS and F 850 GS

The same kit fits the F 750 GS and F 850 GS twin-cylinder models from 2018 to 2023, with the original handguards or Barkbusters installed using the BHG-085 kit.

FAQs

Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta la nostra FAQ delle domande frequenti.

Is it cruise control like the electronic kind in cars?

No. It is a mechanical throttle lock: it maintains the throttle opening you selected, not the speed. The motorcycle slows down uphill, accelerates downhill, and it does not disengage automatically when you brake or pull in the clutch. It is intended for highway and main-road stretches at a constant speed, when road conditions allow it.

How do you turn it on and off?

As you open the throttle, squeeze the ring between your little finger and palm: the ring screws in and creates the friction that holds the grip in position. To disengage it, make the same gesture while closing the throttle. When disengaged, the grip should open and close freely on its own, as if the device were not installed.

Can I still turn off the gas with the device inserted?

Yes. The ring slows the rotation of the throttle but does not lock it: you can always open and close the throttle by hand; the grip simply feels a little stiffer. The manufacturer recommends using it only when road conditions permit and keeping it disengaged in all other situations.

Do I need to modify the motorcycle to install it?

No. Remove the right handlebar counterweight and install the Kaoko one in its place, reusing the original central bolt. It is rarely necessary to move the throttle housing a few millimeters along the handlebar: loosen its screws, slide it, and tighten them again to the torque specified by BMW.

Is it okay if I have the original BMW handguards or Barkbusters?

Yes, with the original BMW handguards, the handguard attaches directly to the Kaoko bar-end weight. On the F 750 GS, F 850 GS, and R 1250 GS, it is also compatible with Barkbusters handguards installed with the BHG-085 kit. It also works on motorcycles without handguards. On the F 900 R, it is designed for use without handguards only.

Does it go on the R 1250 GS Adventure or the R 1300 GS?

The manufacturer does not list it among the models compatible with this code. Before ordering, write to us with the exact model and year of your motorcycle, and we’ll tell you which Kaoko kit you need.
