SWM Motorcycles - ATLAS Throttle Lock

Look who's back! SWM is a brand who, despite a relatively short history, made a name for itself in trials and enduro races in the '70s and '80s. After sitting on ice for 30 years, SWM came back in 2014 after acquiring tooling, properties and the factory from Husqvarna (!!!) after that brand was acquired by the KTM group. Today, SWM is building affordable, stylish, and reliable motorcycles that cater to the adventure rider in all of us. Affordable, stylish, AND reliable? Sounds like SWM and the ATLAS are a match made on pavement. Clamp an ATLAS on that SuperDual and find some adventure!

Top Kit: You'll want a Top Kit if:

• There is less than 1.5 inches (38 mm) of clearance between the tank and the throttle housing at full right turn.
• There's a heated grip wire that comes out the bottom half of your rubber grip flange.

Bottom Kit: You'll want the Bottom Kit if:

• There's a heated grip wire that comes out the top half of your rubber grip flange.
• There are no other interferences. The majority of motorcycles will be able to use the Bottom Kit. 

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 (2mm)
• 2 M3 Bolts with thread locker
• 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.
