Here are some more information for Throttle Brake:

Handlebars for your motorcycle serve two purposes. First, and most importantly, the handlebars provide a means to steer the motorcycle by controlling the swivel of the front wheel enabling the rider to ride in a straight line or turn. Secondly, the handlebars provide a place to locate important controls and accessories which allow the rider to operate the motorcycle safely.

Handlebars are available in many designs ranging from straight bars to high rise "ape hangers" and everything in between. The particular handlebars you chose for your motorcycle should be based on what is most comfortable and safe for you, the rider, as well as what will look best with the overall design of your cycle.

Mounted on the handlebars are the hand grips which should be comfortable in your hands since you will spend a great deal of time holding onto these grips. You can find them in foam "titty grip" composite, hard rubber, smooth or grooved. Your throttle is also operated through the right hand grip on the handlebars. Because you must hold the throttle open during times you are moving, hand grips that are comfy as crucial for making road trips comfortable. Choose the style that feels best in your hand and looks good on your motorcycle.

Your turn signal controls will be mounted on the handlebars. Choose chrome or black controls, depending on your personal taste. The clutch and front brake are, in most cases, controlled by levers mounted on the handlebars. These levers are available in a wide range of styles from plain, straight chrome to decorative levels with skulls on the end or other embellishment.

An important set of accessories that will be mounted on your handlebars are the rear view mirrors. You can really add pizzazz to your sled by choosing custom mirrors that reflect the theme of your cycle. Maltese cross designs, mirrors with LED turn indicators include on the side facing oncoming traffic, and other unique designs can add a special look for this safety accessory.

If your motorcycle has an electric start switch, it will also be mounted on the handlebars. This simple button switch makes life much easier than having to kick start a big engine.

You may choose to strap a bag onto your handlebars which will be attached by two straps and may be placed in front of the handlebars and above your head light. This can provide a nice place for all those little items you need to stash. Other bags may be designed to sit on the gas tank without obstructing your view of any indicator displays in your console if your motorcycle includes an on-tank console.

As you can easily see, handlebars are for more than just driving controls. They serve many purposes. Chose stylish handlebars that fit the overall look of your custom cycle. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of designs from which to choose.

Scooters / Motor Bike Tips - Brake Dancing

Anyone can twist a throttle to the stop, but not so many know the principles behind safe and effective braking.

If you engage in the former often but aren't so hot on the latter, you're just playing a waiting game before push comes to shove, and end up going down the road next to your bike, instead of on it.

Braking skills should be mastered to a competent degree from the outset of anyone's riding career, and then refined as time goes by, but what's the best way to brake anyway?

Set up, squeeze, ease - as in set up your brakes by applying them gently, but enough to get the front forks to compress a little; squeeze the lever with progressive force to achieve the desired deceleration; and then ease them off smoothly once your speed has been set to the required level.

It's only through constant practice that you can develop a sense of how close you are to your front and rear tyres' limits of adhesion, so make a conscious effort to practice your braking, and in particular your emergency braking, often.

Instructional ride schools can be a huge help here with scooters, road bikes or sportsbikes; with training ranges and trained experts on hand to get you braking harder and more safely than ever before, in the controlled environment of a training range.

Ideally, you should be able to develop your braking to a point where you can nearly reach the limit of adhesion, when the tyres start to 'chirp', but not exceed it - this isn't easy, even before you throw in bumps, potholes and greasy surfaces, which more often than not are the reality on Aussie roads.

Bear in mind that in wet weather your grip is around half of what it is in the dry, and dirt and gravel roads should also be treated with extreme care. Similarly, keep an eye out for spilled petrol or diesel, which will be a rainbow colour if it's wet, and greasy areas in general - like white painted road markings, or when you're approaching an intersection or a set of traffic lights.

The type of motor bike you ride can also affect how you approach your braking. Most standard road bikes, including sportsbikes, commuters and tourers, derive around 80 per cent of their braking force from the front brake, and 20 per cent from the rear. Jump on a cruiser however, with its greater rake, longer wheelbase and different weight distribution, and you'll find the rear brake plays a larger role.

Scooters can be somewhere between the two.

Whatever you ride, eye direction is vitally important - keep looking ahead of you when braking, and don't let your eyes drop. The moment you do you've got much less chance of saving a locked front end, as without the horizon as a point of reference it's easier to lose your balance.

On the road, try and get all your braking out of the way before you enter a turn. Racers may brake deep into a corner, but they're on the absolute limit - and that's no place for road rider who wants to stick around.

Finally, your braking performance will also be adversely affected if your tyres are worn out, or you're running the wrong pressures in them - you've only got two small contact patches the size of the palm of your hand between you and the road, so make sure both these areas are in top shape.

95 chevy cavalier high acceleration when idling, foot is not on gas, throttle stuck?

Hi, I have a 95 chevy cavalier, automatic transmission. Was running fine on the way to the store but when I left the parking lot it would accelerate when I was not even pushing on the gas and I when I would brake it would still want to move forward so I had to shut it off. So now it is sitting in the parking lot. Not sure if it could be the spring for the throttle is broken or something is stuck on it? Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

the idle air control valve may be stuck or needs resetting.

Since it is a 95 and Not the dreaded OBD-II computer found on 96 and newer cars, I`d unhook the battery for 2 minutes and then re try. (or just remove the 5amp ECM fuse in the fuse box for 2 minutes or so.

If it takes off like that, Put it in Neutral! then come to a stop. let it rev like that for a minute, it may bring itself down to a normal idle.

that's safer.

How was your qualifying lap? "It was a good lap. It wasn't good enough for the pole. I thought we had a shot at it. I was pretty happy with the car in race trim today. We made a really long run at the start of the second practice. I was really happy with that.
