Wrist assist

[wayne cooper]

A quick and cheap throttle assist can be had by placing a nice fat O'ring between the switch housing and the twist grip, or if you are using bar ends you can fit one at that end.You might go to a heavy equipment parts supply to get one fat enough. This won't act as a cruise control but it will take some strain off the wrist.

it'll also keep the throttle on during braking.

Go with a Throtle Rocker, 10 Bucks each

If you have the proper size o'ring it will only apply a slight bit of resistence to the throttle- not enough to act as a cruise, and the throttle will still close on it's own, much like the throttle tension screw that came on older bikes. Unfortunatley riders often overdid the tension and put themselves in a dangerous position so they were removed on later models. I personally find it helps when carving tight, choppy curves as it helps maintane a smoother throttle positon. I was expecting a few doubting riders but then again I also have learned how to triple brake properly at high speed while going into curves. Since I have been riding for better than 36 years I may do some things that are not suited to newer or less experienced riders and I always assume that this site deals with people that will adjust all advice in all posts to suit their indivdual situation. Fear does not slow you down, fear forces you to think before you act and to find your limits and how to extend them without dying.

Triple brake?

Explain please...I'm interested in hearing this one...

Front rear and engine braking

triple brake

He's got it. Now before you try- know this,tach must be high enough to prevent rear wheel lock up, it will not add a tremendous amount of stopping power but if used properly it will allow you more control when powering out of a corner. I try for around 4000 rpm if all conditions are right. Tire type and road surface,temperature,lean angle,and corner camber etc. will all influence the way this works. The best away to get the hang of it is by steps, and I would like to add this caution-- if you can't corner properly don't try it! Do not use this if you have over-cooked the corner to begin with,(might be better-off concentrating on your braking at this point because you will have enough to worry about ) but on a nice well executed entrance it will add to the exit. Remember that smooth equals quick- fast equals ouch. The best way to really get the feel for this is during straight line braking under normal situations as you really have to be practiced at heavy braking in order to get the feel for your tire and suspension limits.
