BMW Motorcycles - ATLAS Throttle Lock

Sale price Price $ 135.00 Regular price

The ATLAS Throttle Lock was built for adventure and motorcycle touring. Are you still wondering why BMW didn’t put cruise control on your motorcycle? Well, stop thinking about it, get an ATLAS, and go ride. The Top Kit ATLAS was designed specifically for pre-2013 BMW motorcycles with right-hand turn signals, while the Bottom Kit ATLAS works beautifully with the 2013-present bikes.

You may be wondering if the ATLAS can handle everything you have planned for it. Yes it can! The ATLAS is on bikes in over 30 countries around the world and counting. We have riders actively circumnavigating the planet with the ATLAS on their motorcycles. You are in good company, no matter which continent you’re on.

Oh, and extra points to anyone who knows where our logo with the diagonal lines comes from!

Neither Kits work on the R1200C and R1200CL because of the chrome grip flange. You will need to remove the chrome grip flange and replace it with a rubber BMW grip.

ATLAS Throttle Lock Installation Instructions

What's included with the Kit?

Your kit comes with everything you need to mount the ATLAS on many different motorcycles.

Installation Instructions
Allen Key (1/16" SAE)
3 sizes of friction pads (2 of each)
Alcohol Prep Pad
Stickers

Friction Pads are required.

The ATLAS Throttle Lock was designed to be used with friction pads. Friction pads can last anywhere from 3,000 miles to 40,000+ miles. The wear depends on how often you rotate the throttle while it is engaged and if your throttle housings has sharp edges that rub on the friction pad. If you need replacement friction pads, you can buy more here: Friction Pads.

Which friction pad should you use?

The friction pads come in 3 different thicknesses. Your kit comes with two of each size but you will only need to apply one pad to your ATLAS. Watch our installation video and follow the instructions to determine which friction pad works best. You will want to start with the thickest friction pad and see if it fits between the throttle housing and the ATLAS Stopper Arm. If it doesn't fit, try the next size down until you find the right size that does not make contact with the throttle housing when disengaged.

Where should I place my friction pad?

We recommend adhering the friction pad along the top edge of the Stopper Arm, but, for some motorcycles, this isn't the best solution. If your throttle housing has any bevels on it which will interfere with the friction pad during any part of the rotation, then you will want to adjust the placement of the friction pad to avoid those bevels. Sometimes this means placing the friction pad a few millimeters away from the top edge of the stopper arm, or maybe placing it to the far right or left on the stopper arm.

Love the Atlas! Installation was easy. One comment is to include removing the screw from the ratchet piece as step one. But it's obvious once you start looking at it. Just a suggestion. I would recommend the Atlas to anyone. It's not only a lock but a throttle assist. Works great. Simple is good. Happy trails.

Pros: The more you use it the more you love it. A great and simple design that that is both easy to install and use. The use of the double button design is both ergonomic to your thumb and intuitive to the user. ( I have the top mount version on my bike.)
Cons: I had to adjust the mounting position to work with the rotation of the throttle, I did not think that one completely out till I went for a ride. Then I had to readjust it again for different gloves (Summer, Fall, Winter). No big deal to adjust the position of the throttle lock, till I dropped the screw. Wait a minute all the cons were caused by me!!
Tips: Before you install try with different gloves, and put down some type of drop-cloth just in case you drop the very teeny tinny screw also.
Bottom line: Yes I would recommend it and I did.

Install was basic and easy...I did have to pull the inside edge of my bar grip to install the throttle lock on my throttle tube. The last part of the install was to decide how far to rotate my lock. I uses the top kit for my bike because of the turn signal buttons. My 2,600 week ride was more comfortable with this lock.

Works really well. I especially like the ease in setting and releasing the throttle lock. No strange contortions needed and no slipping.
