To Do or NOT to do a twist throttle?
I grew up on the first models of quads. Now older, I got into a CRF450R dirt bike. Two years later and I bought two quads. I thought about making the conversions to twist throttle to match the dirt bike.
Is there pros or cons to twist throttles on quads? Never had twist until the dirt bike. What is everyones opinions?

My thoughts about the oops....wouldn't I have the same effect on the dirt bike? I see comments about this and I wonder if something is different on a quad and how you are seated. The 400ex is new to me and as I get use to it, I will be leaning off the side and powering into the corners. This is a different seating than a dirt bike and I wondered who drives hard and what the throttle does to them.

I have never been a huge twist throttle person.. I often wondered why a thumb throttle never made its way to dirt bikes and such.. Ive ridden plenty of bikes and such and have had times when something might happen and to hang on you basically have the throttle pinned open because your outta control and you cant let go.. I dunno never seemed a problem on a atv. Although I have been riding for a day and my thumb has been pretty tired.. I dunno whatever you like hell put a gas pedal on it if you like it =)

I have the parts to do the twist throttle on the 400ex. Thanks for everyones input and still curious. One good thing will be that I can always put the thumb throttle back on if all else. For the cost, I will give it a try and see how it is. Now I just need the time to install it! I will post the updates. Still back and forth feelings and only one way to find out.
