- 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.

You handled that problem like a true mechanic. Well done sir!
@@markespich8574 well thank you sir
Very cool! After having cruise on my last 3 bikes, it would be hard to live without it and this is a great option.
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.
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 🤘
Yewwwww onya mate. Good onya for getting it all sorted. I have problems with screws and holes too. 🤣🤣
😂 Your comment was stuck in the "Held for review" section. Oh well, I have issues with screws and holes to from time to time as you saw LMAO, turns out they sent me another kit!!!
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!
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.
I love having cruise control on the Harley, this looks like a great option
I never thought it would be something I would care about now I can't live without them on my bikes.
I might have to get this for my R6. Also my brother moved to Colorado Springs last year. I'm looking forward to visiting him sometime this year.
Lots of great places to ride out here.
Might need one of these for an upcoming ride holiday. Thanks for the tip.
They are an absolute life saver for those long rides.
1st to comment awesome vid bro. I saw these before now I know everything about it. Great Job 👍🏻
Legend!! Thanks Powamoto!
Good review, I'm sold.
I have seen that one and must get one for the cbr, so easy to use 😀👍
You won't regret it on long rides. Really helps keep you rested and fresh.
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
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.
That's really cool. I think I will get something like this eventually.
VS Chick did a video on it not to long ago with her Rebel 500
Does having the extra weight on the throttle tube make it feel slower or lazy to snap back? Super interested in this!
I really didn't notice any difference in the throttle tube and its rotation on the handle bar.
I need a throttle lock! itd come in handy when Im doing Stunts
Stunt video! Get it done!
good job man. you are a pro!!!!
You are too kind sir.
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
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.
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.
Well, how’d it go?
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..
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.
Does it make the throttle stiffer to operate?
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.
I'd be alright I got a Bucket of Bolts😉
6:43 Hopefully, mine will do the same noise when I switch on my throttle lock...😅
😂🤣
Does it have an emergency unlock if you end up having to hit the brakes?
It has two buttons, one to lock in place and another to unlock or release.
@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.
It doesn’t really lock the throttle. You can easily close the throttle manually.
EPIC
Shame about the QC, but looks a great bit of kit for bikes with no CC 🙂
I swear I'm a magnet for stupid shit, but you are right it is nice. I'm going to send them an email and see what is up. Maybe they will send me another or something.
@@MonkeyButtRides that would be cool, never hurts to ask!
What are those bars behind your windscreen??
Can you give me a time code (1:20 for example) in the video so I can see what you are referencing?
@@MonkeyButtRides I think hes talking about the fairingstay. 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. Anyway, thanks for the vid, probably going to get one of these (or it's knockoff... $55) cus I daily commute a 954/r1 as well as have fun on the weekends...
@@jakeR1954rr Oh that makes sense. I was so lost. LOL
Bought it for my srad....but won't hold on and vibrates loose.
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.
My screw matched perfect but it's not straight u go at and angle
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.
I probably would have just made a trip to the hardware store and got different screws
@@daviddalessio7162 I was low on brain cells that day...
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.
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.
Песок и пыль у меня вообще не садится, а вот насекомые липнут и приходится пользоваться специальными химикатами, хотя по инструкции не рекомендуется
Piece of junk! Wouldn't work on my Triumph Tiger 660 no matter what I tried. Either to sticky or to lose. Don't bother with this crap. It's going back to Amazon Pronto.
Bummer.
Don’t buy this product I brought one & it didn’t even last 48hrs & the rivets came apart expensive rubbish
BAHAHAHA
Atlas locks are garbage and over priced. Made in America doesn’t translate into quality.
You must have had a really bad experience. Even though I got the wrong screws with my kit Atlas replaced it with another kit free of charge and quickly and I didn't have any issues after that. Is there a throttle lock you prefer?
Wouldn’t work on my Triumph Thruxton. Sent it back.
That's a bummer..
