Default polaris thumb throttles

Do they have the little screws on the throttle that if you turn it out it opens up the engine and if you turn it in it detunes the engine?

Only on the youth models on outside of throttle assy is a small screw and locknut to limit throttle.

ANYTHING POSSIBLE! Have one customer that bought 2 500 Sportsmans, installed twist grip throttle,slid original throttle assy down,from the twist grip had a small line that went into thumb throttle that he drilled a hole through and operated like a motorcycle! Told him several times he's asking for trouble,BUT cant talk sense to some old Texas rednecks!

The 400 is def not a beginers bike.You may want to look for a 250 or a 330
