  • an electromagnet connected to a handlebar of a motorcycle adjacent to the circumferential flange of the throttle tube;

    a metal plate positioned between the electromagnet and the circumferential flange, the metal plate moveable between a first position in contact with the electromagnet and a second position spaced from the electromagnet, the metal plate having at least one tab extending from a surface of the metal plate in a direction toward the circumferential flange;

    wherein the circumferential flange is configured-to define at least one slot, the tab of the metal plate extending within the slot when the metal plate is in the first position; and

    means for energizing the electromagnet, whereby the metal plate frictionally contacts the electromagnet when the electromagnet is energized to maintain a rotational position of the throttle tube.
