Twist vs Thumb Throttle?
#1
Owning a banshee, I have the stock thumb throttle setup still but have been considering getting a twist. (thumb cramps up sometimes) But that to me is a completely different feel and actually have found to be dangerous if care isn't taken. Just wanted to hear from people who actually converted and if it took a long time to get used to it and was it worth it? (Like climbing hills, jumping, racing, etc)

bro take my advice dont switch. they sell extended peaces that take the strain off your thumb buy that. the reason is you could easialy get hurt if you hit a jump as you slide off the back of the bike and pull on that throttle triin to pull your self back and gun it beleive me it happend to me and i landed on my back or you could end up like that dirt bike rider henry and break your back doin that. and also i feel i ride better with a thumb throttle . thats my opinion

Listen, I have the answer to this post. A friend of mine makes a bolt on billet aluminum lever extender. The key to this thing is that it is heavy. It gives your thumb more leverage. It is not a piece of junk. Alba Action Sports and Chapparal are both selling this thing because it is so awesome. Go to www.yakkeyracing.com. I have one of these on my bike, and I would never give it up. I would rather ride without my TCS shocks than without my thumb throttle.

I think the key here is the 4 wheeler. 4 stroke might be ok to have a twist but on a Banshee forget it unless you are a Pro. You'll get hurt with it on the Banshee too much power too fast. I have seen twist grip ones that you twist foward instead of backwards but still would not use one on mine, I like my life and I know my Banshee could throw me like I was a rag doll if I slipped up on it. I love the snappy power and respect it also...
