Use the palm of your thumb on the throttle! Thumb extension not neeeded.

I have a throttle extender is that what you mean? I wish I had gotten a twist throttle control instead. I still like it better than the way it came.

Twist throttle is not for use on atvs, you turn the handle bars farther each direction than a bike and will cause you to be jerky with the throttle!

My wife has one on her outty 400 and loves it. I like it also since I do not have to listen to her complain how sore her thumb is.

You should've showed her the correct way to push the throttle. With her palm not tip of thumb.

maybe she has little thumbs dude.

my excuse is I have a bum thumb from an ATV accident a long time ago. and it's hard to throttle for long periods of time
