Throttle lock
« on: August 05, 2020, 12:18:23 AM »
Has anyone installed a throttle lock on an ST1300?
Rubina came with a Kayoko throttle lock which I have removed because I installed a cruise control.  However that leaves a 15mm gap between the throttle and the bar end weight.  I have someone who will do a swap of an ST bar end weight for the Kayoko.  However, when you remove the bar end weight you're faced with a threaded insert which does not pull out.  Has anyone worked out how to get that insert out?  I was hoping it was a clamping system like the throttle lock mechanism.

Just pulled one off Wendy's bike...just threaded the bolt in without kakao and it came out easy...re-installed original inner, took a few mallett taps to all the way in, then put original bar weight back on...all good for MCCruise install

Yep- found that out today- My pulling on the "inner" with a bolt in the thread wasn't enough- it took a good tap on the bolt to get the inner to move.  It's actually only held in by specialised rubber rings.

That's why it took me two weeks to get Rubina set up- very conscientious wiring using a fuse box and the usual set-backs when things don't go to plan.  I'm not longer an essential worker*, but I tick the other boxes.

*unless you count washing up, mowing the lawn, hanging out the clothes, vacuuming the house, being on call for every "emergency" etc.
