here;s a stupid question, but i want to buy a motion pro twist throttle, is there a special cable I would have to buy for my new carb, or would the one they send work, or should I use the one the guy is sending me with the carb, o ya, tracking number says it should come monday.

 

Dude,
Twist throttle is another topic. If you like riding with one hand behind your back go for it. Otherwise DONT go twist grip.

In time your thumb muscles will develope and your thumb will not get sore anymore. Twist grips are dangerous on a Quad, You will gas it when you dont want to, then your body and Quad will be way more sore than your thumb ever was!!!!!!!

Just my .02
Dont say nobody warned you before you installed it and busted yourself and your quad up.

 

hey now freak u see me have any problem wuth the twist ....lol if ya can handle the twist do it. if not dont. your comfortability not ours.. and for the record twist is my preference

 

Time will tell on that one Shon. If tis what you are comfortable with dont change. If you and I went way back, I'd be slashing your tires every time you tried to ride it. Nothing personal, I just dont want to see another rider busted up like that due to a twist grip. You know the story.

 

i understand bro but like i told ya in his case the throttle stuck coulda stuck either way thumb or twist.now if he was going up hill id even take ur side on the thumb but i like when it pulls back goin up a hill. when in doubt gas it. lol

 

When I first switched to twist it was definitely a little hairy, especially on whoop sections. Once I got the hang of it, I grew to like it alot more than the old thumb.

 

Can anyone I.D. a production quad that came from the factory with a twist grip throttle??

 

The Gas Gas Wild 300 and 450 come with twist. When I first put my twist on my 250R I hit a whoop and sailed off into some bushes. Twists can be dangerous and you have to MASTER a twist throttle, not just be comfortable with it. But if you can master it you will have an advantage over other riders.

 

i am used to a twist throttle from my dirtbike, however i also believe it is a hole different story on a quad. I had a thumb on my 3 wheeler, and u r right, i did get used to it, so now i am undecieded. but will my stock throttle cable work on the new carb?

 

how is there an advantage one over the other? gas is gas whether you twist it or push it with your thumb. i've ridden both and dont like the twist and feel more comfortable with the thumb but i dont think theres a performance advantage to either.
