This is a throttle technique I use, I'm not sure if its an old one or if I'm the only one who uses it. All the people I ride with say they don't do it.
When I open up my throttle I roll my hand instead of griping and dropping my elbow. If im going for speed I do this to get the full throttle open without any elbow drop or loss of control.
closed throttle and quarter throttle.
normal use of the throttle.
Half throttle
I start to roll my hand back at first sign of elbow drop, allowing the throttle to open
full throttle
I roll my hand all the way back kind of turning it into a monkey paw. This allows full throttle with little to no elbow drop and still gives me control over the bike.
sometimes I keep my thumb on the throttle when im all the way back
I only use this on a straight away or when im on the street. when im in tight technical stuff I don't get anywhere near full throttle. Its a little different, but it works awesome for getting the speed im looking for. All of my riding buddies... okay the whole two of them, I have no friends ... say that they don't do this and never even heard of it. Any thoughts or improvement?
