Default Thumb grip

Has anyone ever changed their thumb grip to a regular throttle grip like on a motorcycle?

Order a Motion Pro.Thats the first thing i do when i get a Quad.It takes a few rides to get used to if you used a Thumb Throttle before but if you give it time you should like it better IMO. late,zubbeyboy

On a powerful bike a twistgrip is a deathtrap. Reason, on an ATV you use the bars for leverage on the turns, unless you are really careful you will be openig the throttle and the wrong time. I almost killed myself using a twist on an ATC250r after years of dirtbike riding.

Some people prefer it but I feel I have more controlwith a thumb throttle.
