The ATLAS mounts to most motorcycles in 10 minutes. It clamps to the plastic throttle tube, between the grip flange and the throttle housing. The ATLAS Throttle Lock has two buttons. One to engage the unit and another to disengage the unit. When the ATLAS is engaged, a friction pad on a stainless steel tab presses against the throttle housing wall and, using pressure and friction, stops the return spring from snapping back. When disengaged, your throttle will function exactly like it did from the factory.

just bought one for my zx14r. went with the top mount kit. cant wait for it to get here. ill be doing more longer distance riding.

@602North 2 года назад

Very cool! After having cruise on my last 3 bikes, it would be hard to live without it and this is a great option.

@TheRhythmicBiker 2 года назад

The screwdriver 😂 glad you got it all installed in the end 🤘 it does look a lot simpler than others, I’ve only ever used a throttle lock once and I was 50/50 on whether i really needed it, but this definitely looks interesting, might have to check it out, great video mate 🤘

@KODEGREY 2 года назад

Ohhh I might look into this around spring time!! This would be excellent for those longer trips!! As long as they send the right screws!

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

They rock and I would def go with the Atlas over the bar end style. I'm not sure how I got screws to large...I felt so dumb trying for a LONG time like how could this not work....🤦‍♂️ oh well.

@trickedmonkey 2 года назад

Does having the extra weight on the throttle tube make it feel slower or lazy to snap back? Super interested in this!

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

I really didn't notice any difference in the throttle tube and its rotation on the handle bar.

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

You won't regret it on long rides. Really helps keep you rested and fresh.

@garybuck5032 2 года назад

Do you have to manually press the button to turn it off? Or can you roll off the throttle and it will disengage to brake with no issue? If I’m on a freeway and a car swerves into my lane id want to be able to brake without any issues

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

You can still move your throttle tube while it's engaged. So if you need to react quickly to what's in front of you, you can. It's literally rubbing against the housing and it's somewhat adjustable so you can setup the pressure such that you can adjust it but it won't turn on its own from the return spring on the throttle if that makes sense.

@hachewie 2 года назад

That's really cool. I think I will get something like this eventually.

@hlpang1075 Год назад

Does it make the throttle stiffer to operate?

@MonkeyButtRides Год назад

A little bit, takes some adjusting and trial and error to get it right but it's not bad. I did a 700 mile road trip with it about a month ago.

@Rasputinovich 2 года назад

When your hand is numb, that little button on the Atlas is really hard to push. I ended up taking it off my bike. It was an expensive experiment that failed.

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

I haven't gone for a long enough ride on my GSXR 600 to say but I have one coming up so we will see how it works long distance.

@craig4fsu Год назад

Well, how’d it go?

@drainmonkeys385 2 года назад

Ya know… they outta make one that’s an electronic one, like a cruise control, push button, but allows you to set it at a really low rpm, cruise control isn’t the same…. It could be used for when you come to intersections or need to make a u-turn and want to get into the friction zone for really slow speeds..…. Example…You roll up to the stop light, and pull in the clutch, then you rev it up to the desired rpm for take off,,,, then when your ready to go, and your rpm is locked in just enough to allow you to use the clutch and back brake and have a consistent throttle during your turn and have a perfect friction zone experience.. also it might be helpful during rush-hour when everything’s moving just super slow, but is moving. and the second you move the throttle, it disengages and it back to manual …. It would really help people who struggle to do u-turns or even making a clean safe controlled turn at an intersection

@jlnordby11 Год назад

The screw sucked on mine too.. Not to the point that I re-tapped it, but it was a pain in the ass for sure..

@MonkeyButtRides Год назад

I don't know if I said it in this video but they actually reach out via email and sent me another one. Screw worked as designed on the 2nd kit.

@newbierides Год назад

Does it have an emergency unlock if you end up having to hit the brakes?

@MonkeyButtRides Год назад

It has two buttons, one to lock in place and another to unlock or release.

@newbierides Год назад

@MonkeyButtRides so basically no. It doesn't unlock automatically if you have to do an emergency brake. You still have to unlock it manually. That doesn't sound good, there are some cheap options out there that you can just push the throttle to release it and braking will lift up the lever that's keeping it in place.

@stevehoward3981 Год назад

It doesn’t really lock the throttle. You can easily close the throttle manually.

Always thought that type looks killer, wanted to see if I could get an early CBR 900 one to fit my 954rr with some convincing lol... maybe one day.

@MonkeyButtRides 5 месяцев назад

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue nor did my son-in law on either of his bikes. You might want to contact Atlas and describe the issue to them. In this video I had an issue with the mounting screw and they sent me a new one no charge.

@danladd4764 2 года назад

My screw matched perfect but it's not straight u go at and angle

@MonkeyButtRides 2 года назад

If it was the wrong screw or I wasn't using the right angle, Atlas was totally cool, sent me another kit and I had no issues the 2nd time around.

@Mihai791 Год назад

i am so sad. i buyed an kaoko and is not like i imagine. first is not the same black like original bar ends , not even the some shape , damn, for that price i am disappointed. it also not fit to good because i have oxford grips and they are longer with like 1-2 mm . and the friction zone is after almost 2 rotations! the reason i chose that one is because i like it how stealh is into da bike . but this Atlas looks way more easy to use.

@MonkeyButtRides Год назад

I have both, Kaoko which I've logged over 5k miles of road trips on my ZX10 with. I had no issues with fitment and I to like how stealthy the Kaoko is but it is harder to use for sure. The Atlas is easy to use with one hand but very finicky to adjust and sticks out like a sore thumb.
