The grey tube that twists is bored to fit nice on the handlebar tube so it turns easily but no sloppy fit. (for the sake of the potentiometer relationship)


There was plenty of talk about a return system but if you think about the potentiometer and how it can slip a little now and then the return position may be off a little. If you have a more positive grasp on the potentiometer you could do the self return thing.

Personally I am controlling the rate of throttle advance and shutdown so completely as I balance I would prefer not to feel any resistance. I could get used to it I'll bet! And it would have to be a good thing for a new rider. It can get confusing when the machine is set to moving forward or backward in a turn and you have to figure out which way to turn the grips to get it to stop.

I marked the pot wheels to indicate the center position and that
is where you set it before turning the machine on.

You could use a zip tie as a resetable visual check temporarily I guess.
