Vista throttles

It is not really necessary to remove the grip to install the throttle lock but since I was replacing the grips anyway it is much easier. If you are not changing the grips you can just pry it back from the switch housing a little bit and fit it around the throttle tube as directed in the Vista-Cuise instructions.

Use it or a flat screwdriver to adjust the tension screw so that it holds the throttle in place when locked but allows it to return to idle as soon as you flip the switch up to unlock it. I decided to use new Oury grips for the vintage look and proven vibration dampening abilities. Oury Grip has been in business for decades and have always provided a good product at a decent price.

Just be sure to clean your handlebar and throttle tube well, then use a good handlebar grip glue to make sure everything stays in place. Even with the throttle locked you should still be able to move the throttle to adjust your speed as needed. This is a throttle lock if you start downhill the bike will speed up, going uphill it may slow down. At low speed the leverage of the carb internals and return spring will gradually close the throttle.

Once the throttle is opened far enough to negate this problem it will stay locked in place for miles of smiles. It could be adjusted tight enough to hold at all speeds but then it would not return to idle immediately upon released. This is the single most important thing to remember, for the sake of safety it must always be adjusted so that when the lock is released the engine will return to idle just the same as if you simply let go of the throttle.

Last edited: May 1, Joey , May 1, I'm not really sure how much practical use there is changing the settings. Is there really much practical use of being able to play "two p videos, two p videos and a HD podcast" at the same time?

Animatrix , May 3, I was just playing all those videos at once to try and saturate the system and see what happened to the network bandwidth, and nothing did. It throttles on any multimedia playback.

I hardly think that's necessary. Also the throttling is more apparent on a gigabit connection, because that's more lost bandwidth On the other one.

TheEdge: Sorry it didn't work for you. So far you are the first person with an issue, I was wondering what are the specs on your machine? The beauty of the workaround is that you can still re-enable the MMCS service independently of Windows Audio, so all you would have to do is set it back to Manual or Automatic and hit start.

You may also want to try using netsh to fiddle with Windows' autotuning parameters too. Really sounds like they shouldn't have rewritten the network stack, doesn't it? Those who do not understand Unix TCP are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. But, I guess that's what they're saying. That one has me really lost. Could be gremlins in my machine. BTW, restarting the service on reboot stopped the static. All talk regarding this I like Windows, but you really have way to many smart people with different ideas all trying to do the same thing Confirmed: Windows Vista throttles back network when playing video 17 posts.

Ars Legatus Legionis et Subscriptor. Drew Thaler. From the article: quote:. Russinovich states that if both the receiving and sending computers have gigabit adapters, network throughput will drop about 15 percent.

Unfortunately, however, the Windows developers decided to focus on a secondary effect: quote:. Tests of [Multimedia Class Scheduler Service MMCSS , a mechanism for the automatic priority-enhancement of multimedia playback,] during Vista development showed that, even with thread-priority boosting, heavy network traffic can cause enough long-running DPCs to prevent playback threads from keeping up with their media streaming requirements, resulting in glitching.
