Yellow Caterpillar o-rings make for a highly effective cruise control/throttle set. On one of my bikes, only one was required. On my last one, a Piaggio MP3 500 three wheeler, it required two. Still waiting on some to arrive for Ryker, but I will likely require 3 of them, as the gap between twist grip and inner plastic piece is pretty large.

The squeeze between the moving part of the throttle, and the stationary part, and provide friction which exceeds the spring pull of the throttle.
Here is one shown on a previous scooter of mine:

It might take 2 or even 3 of them, as the gap is pretty large on the Ryker. So order maybe 3.
Shown is a Yamaha scooter. My Piaggio required 2 to fill the gap.

UPDATE: FINALLY was able to get mirror off in order to install throttle locking o-ring. Surprisingly it took only one o-ring to lock the throttle. I thought it would take 2 or 3. So now I have 3 extra o-rings. If anyone wants one, PM me your address.

Re: Easy To Install Cheap "Cruise Control"
Finally snapped a pic for your viewing pleasure! It fits & works PERFECTLY!
Note: I had to roll the fat part of the grip on itself in order to roll the o-ring past it.
I ordered a 3-pack of them, and already had a yellow one, so now I have 3 extras. PM me, and I'll send one to your address if you want one.

It is quite amazing how steady the Ryker 600 velocity remains with a simple throttle o-ring! True at any speed; doesn't vary a single MPH.
