Posted August 4, 20222 yr Recently purchased Atlas throttle lock. I cannot get the product to fit correctly, the lock sits up against the rubber flange of the throttle grip, when it is engaged, it simply pushes against a hard service and compresses into flange of the grip. The lock has nothing rigid to stabilize it and there for is ineffective. Has anyone found a work around for the Tenere 700?
August 4, 20222 yr I don't have one, but was looking at getting it. But I noticed that you need 3mm clearance between the throttle grip & the right hand cluster. Maybe that is the issue you are having?
August 4, 20222 yr Author clearance is good, however when you tighten down the unit stays in an angled position. It's going on ebay. Cannot recommend.
August 5, 20222 yr Got rid of my atlas and got one of these. It’s not as convenient to adjust speed when it use, but it for sure does not move. And it’s a fraction of the price. Amazon.com Instagram @black_dog_moto YouTube @ Black Dog Moto

August 5, 20222 yr Author It's most definately clamped on the tube. Just butted up against the rubber grip. The angle it's sits at makes it look that way. Edited August 5, 20222 yr by Sulli

August 6, 20222 yr Author Not while its on the tube, not sure how the bottom bracket should look? Maybe the bottom bracket is bent?

November 20, 20231 yr yeah take it off, read your instruction again and try again... it doesn't look right do you have the proper friction pad ? I needed 3mm and there is a plastic disk between the handle and the plastic it needs to be by the handle yours is by the plastic throttle cluster. Edited November 20, 20231 yr by maddog123
November 21, 20231 yr After a year of testing, the Black Dog Cycle Works throttle lock works perfectly, with barkbusters and all. Worth the high price, and it looks and feels like factory installed part. Much better then the .79c O-ring cruise control.
November 24, 20231 yr i have the Kaoko throttle lock which serves me really well. expensive for what it is but hey ho. My problem i got the one that's meant for the stock hand guards, now i want Barkbusters and i wont be spending another 120 quid for a BB specific Kaoko. Hence will probably get barkbusters and a cheapo throttle lock.
January 15, 20241 yr I also have a Kaoko, and I am very, very happy with it, simple well manufactured and has saved much wrist ache on long highway rides across Europe. 10/10
