Here's a touring experience among the riders, who submitted the Webike Community "MOTO HACK Touring" Campaign, about using a touring item that you might be interested in. Here are some of the other riders' favorite goodies you don't usually get to see!
In this article, I would like to share with you some of Yuu's favorite touring products and ideas on his Ninja1000.
Yuu Profile
About the motorcycle
I bought a 2019 Ninja 1000 to become a returnee rider. I used it for touring only and broke the 10000km mark.
The usual touring style
I enjoy listening to music on the solo touring, and having a good time chatting away on the mass touring!
What I enjoy about touring?
When touring, I always enjoy searching for scenic spots, gourmet food and sweets, and including recommendations from others in my touring course.
Favorite Spot
My favorite spot is a tour of Mt. Fuji. This year I'd like to drive the highland roads of Shinshu.
What are your favorite items?
Brand and manufacturer name: ROUGH&ROAD
Product name: Throttle Assist
Convenient usage and favorite points
Long-distance touring, such as on the highway.
Common usage
When you hold the accelerator pedal in the same position for a long time, the wind pressure and vibration put a strain on your shoulders and wrists, and they started to hurt and wrist pain has been significantly relieved. Braking is completely comfortable.
Summary
It only rotates in one direction, so fine-tuning while driving can be a little uncomfortable until you get used to it, but once you get used to it, you won't want to let it go.
It may not be suitable for a ride where you have to turn the gas pedal on and off repeatedly, but when that happens, I remove it and ride it. It's more convenient than I thought it would be! It feels like it bites lightly into the grip, so if you don't want to damage the grip, you can put a thin rubber sheet or something similar between you and the grip so you don't have to worry about scratching it.
Thank you, Yuu, for posting this valuable touring HACK! You will receive 1,500 points to spend at Webike!
