Various systems on the market. Search facility bears no fruit. Does anyone have any recommendations on what's worthwhile? Very Happy

Cut out a piece of rubber. Take off your right hand bar end.

Then insert the rubber in-between the bar end and the grip. Your throttle grip will now stick and fail the MOT. You actively need to turn the throttle as the grip rubber and the rubber inserted stock it snapping back.

Re-purpose that cock ring you don't use any more.

+1. Works well, doesn't get in the way, no point in over thinking it.

I never got cramp / aching wrists until I bought the Ducati. The thing absolutely destroys my throttle wrist, it's a bit of a chore to ride sometimes because of it.

Throttles are designed to close on their own for a reason. Anything that physically holds the throttle open is something I would personally avoid.

The crampbuster isn't just about reducing pain.

The panigale has a well know throttle slop issue where sometimes you can twist the throttle almost 1-2cm and feels like nothing is happening. There's a company that has 3D printed these little spacers to eliminate that slop. My issue is that they can cause the throttle to get stuck and with them being inside the throttle body, I don't think I fancy that scenario coming in to play on a 208 bhp bike Rolling Eyes

I use a go cruise , I wouldn't be without it now , takes some getting used to and your can not switch off your brain when using it .
It's a must for our trips to France on the first bit of motorway .

eBay do some cheap copies , worth a try to see if you like it .

This seems to be good, if you can get it for your bike:

O ring between the throttle grip & the bar end weight. Costs about 30p.
