I've been riding it somewhat for the past couple of weeks with the twist throttle. The more I ride the more I'm getting use to it, but there is a couple of fall backs on the twist. Whenever I get hit the gas I start to fall back that just means I grip the handle bars more and the throttle gets twisted more. All the time I'm trying to stop, its still wanting to haul butt. Another is if I make a sharp left turn I tend to hit the gas more by accident, thus burning the clutch and the bike wanting to go faster. I went and rode it yesterday morning and did somewhat well I thought. I only had one problem and that was trying to go up a small ditch. I guess I wasn't giving enough gas or clutch and it died at the top of the ditch. Went down the ditch and I didn't want to go to fast coming out and it died again. Then I gave it more gas and slowly made it out and then nailed the gas. It went on two wheels and I don't know how but it came back down and I continued on home and put it up. So I'm still undecided on whether or not to keep or get rid of the twist throttle.

I prefer a twist over thumb. I'm used to dirt bikes and street bikes I switched over to a twist. It takes some getting used to since atv's have different ride quality. I purchased a motion pro(part# 01-0376) for my mojave. I believe they have a website don't have a link for it.

Default twist throttle

I installed a motion pro kit that they just released for my quad, and it was an easy install( plus quality parts).
