Throttle Levers

Throttle Levers

The throttle is the device that controls the flow of fuel and air into an engine, resulting in more or less power output. Control is the power to influence the course of events. So, throttle control essentially means, how well you influence the course of events on your bike by controlling the flow of fuel to the engine or controlling the power. That sounds pretty important, doesn’t it? That’s because it is.

Throttle control is probably the most important aspect of motorcycling. It affects such things as acceleration, deceleration, traction, and ultimately the stability of the motorcycle. Everyone knows that when you roll on the gas the bike will accelerate, and when you roll off the gas the bike will decelerate. How well you roll on and off the gas will determine not only the amount of traction you have, but also where your bike ends up in the corner. 

Good throttle control also helps with maintaining a predictable line. Rolling on the gas does not make the bike run wide. The bike will only run wide if you apply the gas too much, too early in a corner or before the bike is fully turned. If you made a mistake at the entrance of the turn and feel yourself running wide, the worst thing you can do is roll off the gas, which unfortunately is another one of our survival reactions. Rolling off the gas mid-turn will cause the bike to want to stand up, and essentially run you wide.
