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.

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.

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.

No. The Kaoko cruise control replaces the right handlebar bar-end weight: no drilling and no wiring. You rarely need to move the throttle housing a few millimeters along the handlebar by loosening its screws and tightening them again to the torque specified by the manufacturer. All the steps are in the instructions downloadable from the product page.

According to the manufacturer: without ride-by-wire. Only with aftermarket handlebars with an internal diameter of 21 mm. Only for models without an electronic ride-by-wire throttle. The original grips must be drilled at the end with a 7/8" (22 mm) hole, and the internal weld of the handlebar must be filed down to approximately 0.5 mm. The central screw must be tightened to 26 Nm using a 5 mm Allen key. If your motorcycle has different handlebar accessories, contact us before ordering.
