Re: [ST] throttle lock



The throttle lock is not intended to maintain speed only throttle position.
It's primary function is to let you take your right hand off of the throttle
while travelling. Give your hand a rest, no more, no less.  If you want
cruise control maybe you can get a system from a Gold Wing and rig it to
work on the ST but I fail to see the need.
