Twist Throttle Conversion

[controlledchaos]

I have a 95 warrior, and i have been doing some research on the Motion Pro Twist Throttle, and I've heard a lot from the pros and cons, and i want to know some opinions on the subject in general, is it worth it? And specifically, the difficulty in converting the thumb to a twist. Thanks!

On a dirt bike a twisty is at home, On a quad it is not IMO. Your turning the bars a ton more on a quad than a bike and you'll tend to twist it when you dont wanna. Def not a smart thing when your riding harcore trails or climbing hills.

Thats a good point, thanks for the input! just weighing out the pro's and con's.

Get a case of whisky throttle with it & ya can't get away from a quad like ya can a bike. Atleast you can bail off or lay a bike down easier.

Its a super easy conversion, but its wacky on a trail or XC quad. To each its own I guess but I'd definitely say is much more dangerous. If your racing flat track or MX, yeah, id be a fine mod and perhaps be better.

The do have bothy throttles out there that people tend to like. I.E. you can either twist or use your thumb.

that's an interesting concept, both of them, thank you

I grew up on dirtbikes, so im used to the twisty. BUT I bought my warrior about a year ago and it has a motion pro twisty on it & ive had a couple close calls when turning hard and accidentally gassin it, so im goin bak to thumb throttle. lol just my 2 cents lol

Appreciate it bud, thanks!
Im thinking Im going to stick with the thumb throttle, leave the twistys on the race bikes, and 2 wheelers. haha

i had one and hated it at first but after i got used to it i loved it until the cable broke.

my best advice would be not to go cheap on this one!!

on a side note i have a friend thats got the duel gasser, he likes it for the dunes but sticks with the thumb most of the time

There is also the 400ex/90ex throttle mod you can do if your getting a case of the "weak thumb".

Grew up on dirt bikes, have a twist throttle on my warrior, and love it...don't race, just trail ride, never had a problem getting on throttle too much or too little...all on what you prefer...

i put a twist on my blasty years ago big mistake shooting threw trails you throttle to much and cause wrecks, trust it hurts more then its worth.

i agree flat track fine but thats about it
