That is very true. That is why I'm not sure about the crampbuster. The easiest way to get my hand flowing again is to drop it down and give it a shake. Not easy to do with a crampbuster.
I have the same problem. Hardly an issue with my left hand but my right eventually gets tingly. I have tried loosening my grip, but my TE510 has so much juice, my 175lb butt is struggling to not hold on tight sometimes. Now I weigh 35lbs less than I did when I bought the bike and she became a beast. Cramp buster is probably a safer option I would think.
I have always thought the opposite. It's an extension of the throttle which allows the throttle to be inadvertently operated. YMMV.
For the most part, the roads around here do not allow for 1 throttle position to be used (curves in road), but eventually I want to figure out a less dorky way to accomplish this:
When I bought the Strada, my right hand went numb in 5 mins or less, I added grip puppies to the stock grips and now it happens way less, and often I can ward it off by getting my thumb into a different position if for even just a moment or two. My concern with the crampbuster is that it might interfere with my normal throttle control. The local roads are all twisty. With the Kaoko, I can just lock it on a longish strait away and get the blood flowing again. Anyway, I am out for a 3 hour tour with a couple of buddies in the AM, and intend to give the CB a try.
Lekolite do you have guards on your bars? Which Kaoko do you run? Until I buy something, I find it's my thumb being around the throttle that make me cramp up. If I put my thumb on top of the throttle and just use my fingers to keep it on (same as what the Crampbuster is doing. It helps some. But I too find the only thing that helps is to drop my hand a shake or wriggle my fingers.
I have Touratech hand guards. Don't have a Kaoko yet. It sounds like our hands do the same thing. The idea of being able to let go with my right hand just briefly sounds like a great thing, but I want to exhaust the cheap or free alternatives first.
I bought a Kaoko lock for my '05 GS and at that time they were running about 60.00 but 125.00 now? Really?
