If you take apart the two screw holding the housing of your throttle cables and angle it, the throttle will stick and you will have to return it manually. Kinda what Gilby said but you dont have to actually mess with the cables

In a parking lot to do slow stunts they turn up there idle on the bike. Usually to 3500-4000 Rpms depending on the rider/bike/stunt/set up. But thats to do Circle wheelie tricks and combinations. If you see a stunter doing straight line tricks or combinations thats all throttle/brake control.

I put a rubber O-Ring around the bit in between the throttle and controls, with the very slight side-to-side give in the throttle, if I wanted to put it into "cruise control" I'd just push it against the O-ring and it would hold....

This sounds logical and mastering throttle control is key, but its all idle and a pizza sprocket.

Wheelie donuts? Maybe circle wheelies??




I am geared -1 +14 or 15 (60 Tooth) and i keep my idle around 3700-4200, that is enough to do all the tricks I know (so far) and still be able to pull no hander sitdowns and standups without adjustment.

He has a throttle lock on this bike. This is mastering the clutch control and hand brake at the same time, it is hard to tell but he is very very very very gently slipping the clutch and constantly on the brake. It is possible to do coaster circles but the front end is going to drop down in due time, which means clutch control in suicide O's is primo.

What y'all are calling cruise control is just a combo of strong idle pull, fat sprocket and clutch control. It takes ALOT of practice to get to the level where Guru and some of the other riders are at.

Turning idle up on straightlines is super beneficial to cut choppiness out of the wheelie. Choppiness = Lack of control. It is SOO much easier when the bike is helping you maintain constant, steady throttle as opposed to throttle jockying straight line combos, which often times ends in a mousetrap. And thats not fun AT ALL!

yeah i know, i run the idle up on all of my toys. It helps get rid of engine brake, and theres a shit ton of it on my Yamaha so i run it up a good bit, and ive also have it geared +6 in the rear. So on stock idle if ya let off it'll about put me over the bars lol. So she's turned right up, kinda sux on the hot ass days riding through town tho.

No doubt, thats an easy way to burn up a clutch, or worse, your motor.
