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.
