I've tried several and find the "motorcycle throttle wrist rest" the best compromise. It doesn't lock the throttle but allows you to lay your wrist on a lever rather than twisting your wrist, which is a big help to this arthritic geezer rider. You can get four of them for $7 on amazon, ebay has them, too. Easy to snap on or off and easy to adjust on the go.

Yup, I agree Stuo and I have one on my Triumph.

Got this as an unrequested side-effect when I had my heated grips fitted!  Owing to friction the throttle action now requires a positive twist in both directions!

I was told this would likely fix itself in a short while.  Well, here we are, six moths in and it's still unchanged.  I was a bit apprehensive to start with, but now I've got used to it, I find it presents no problem at all and the ability to let go occasionally* to flex my arthritic knuckles in cold weather is quite handy.  Old age can be a bugger. 

* Don't try this at home kiddies!  Obviously briefly and only on the straights.

I am just grateful He gives me opportunities to ride as much as I do!

And so say all of us Stig, it's a blessing for sure.

Not sure how long it's going to take before I see 10K on my DTX?  Sooner than the Triumph, that's for sure! 

Couple of charity runs this year should pile a few more miles on and just trying to schedule in a trip to Yorkshire on the scooter so I can meander through the Pennines & Yorkshire Dales again.  We'll see.  I need some excuse to use my new (to me) SatNav in anger!

Hi Hvar,

Welcome to the forum.

I’ll go out on a limb here and say something like a spark plug or an air filter change in a standard major service could well fix your Agility problems?  Croatian island in summer, dusty?  See where I’m going with this?

Good luck.

Yes.  Usually you have to hit 5-10 mph before it goes off.

For Sale / Re: Kymco scooter LIKE 200i - as new, with rare factory chrome.

Otto, you sound like the sort of guy who should drop by here more often. I’m sure your wealth of knowledge could help us novice wrenchers immensely!

By the way, we all get that error message and posting photos with the size limits here is a PITA, until you get the hang of using a photo hosting site to import them. On Stig’s advice I now use the one he recommended on here. (If I can locate the post I’ll edit this.)
Edit:  Should find it here: https://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=34129.0

Good luck with the sale.

Ha ha, I 100% second that. Piaggio riders are only happy campers until ( at least here in Italia)
a) they sell it after a couple of years
b) have enough money to LET work on their ride.
