GoldenPenguin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 well its the internet, so they can say it fits on a 737 jet for all I know. I just want to know if anybody has actually done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffritz Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 No idea. But Twisted throttle says the 8 units they ordered already are all already sold and accounted for. So at least 8 mysterious FJ-09 owners will be rockin them soon. Lets hope for pictures. In 6-8 weeks ill let you know how mine looks.... Looks like it should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emitrdetsaw Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I got in touch with Kaoko directly and tried to order two of them (one for me, one for the wife) since with the exchange rate the total would have been $153 (shipping included). Kaoko replied telling me they don't do direct-to-customer sales, and to go through Twisted Throttle. They CC'd a customer service rep at TT, who then contacted me. Sure, they'd be happy to sell me two for $135 EACH. I replied telling the rep that a one-hundred percent markup is a bit steep, and I'd pass on their offer. No reply from TT. If Yamaha offer an electronic kit in the future I'll happily pay for it. No wonky interfaces, no tapping wiring harnesses, no mounting issues.

Premium Member cman Posted August 28, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 28, 2015 I haven't read through the whole thread, but @emitrdetsaw, check out what McCruise is doing. Not sure if that would meet your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member alejandro Posted August 28, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 28, 2015 It's not a real cruise control, but the price was right, and it is definitely helpful: Motorbike Throttle Assisst https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z8YTFQS For me, part of the issue is that the stock grips are not super-grippy, so I find myself having to hold the throttle tighter than I'd like, in order to get friction. This $3 piece of plastic helps a lot on the highway. When you don't want to use it, you can spin it out of the way. (It locks in one direction but rotates pretty easily in the other.)

emitrdetsaw Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Oh, already got one of those. I call them wrist-rests. Gawd, I'm such a pussy. For those of you old enough to remember holding open a Kawi Triple throttle for hours on end, this seems trivial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mccruise Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sorry about that! I think I have fixed the MCCruise web site product now. Please check. Web sites can be a bit tricky at 3am in the morning. Even the FJ-09 forum web site. I had the post finished and went to bold one word - and lost the whole lot. i have no idea why. Anyone else ever experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've had it happen once, I put it down to the fact that I took a long time to finish the posting and when I submitted the screen had timed out and lost it. Fortunately, in my case, it was neither long nor that important. Has happened on other sites for me, which at the time was very important and that wasn't a forum. If is due to a timeout, I'd suggest composing the message in an offline editor (email, Word, Notepad etc) and once done copy and paste into the forum - however this may not have been the cause of your loss. All the best in your product, am looking at it with great (empty pocket) interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
