    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Throttle Lock

When I purchased my '83 GS850 it had a somewhat cheesy throttle lock attached. Probably a stupid question, but was a throttle lock an option on these bikes. I've seen Vista Cruise model locks that appear to be. The reason I asked is I liked the feature (I broke the unit) and would like to replace it. I'm sure everyone has differing opinions on using these. Thanks
 
Definately not standard. Just thought I'd mention that I'm doing a long ride in a week, so recently I picked up a CrampBuster after reading about them here a while back.

I tested it on a 440 mile ride a week ago, and I really like it. I still can't take my hand away from the throttle, but it sure allows me to open my hand and lightly rest it on the grip. No Hand cramps.
 
I've got the Crampbuster (had one for quite awhile and love it), and I just recently bought a throttle lock.
I've ridden thousands of miles using the Crampbuster, but for my Iron Butt ride in June, I think the Throttle Lock will suit me much better on the long, straight stretches. Just my opinion, doesn't mean I'll go to sleep at the wheel.......:-D
 
I've broken my throttle lock a couple times. And super glue seems to do the trick on repairing it. The former Suzuki shop had them available for around $6.

I had a throttle lock... still have but I've removed it (well actually half of it so it's real easy to put back on). I like the crampbuster better as there is so much traffic round here...
