opinions please:

 

For racing Twist.
Trail riding and everything else Thumb.
My reasons are this. If you have a twist throttle, it's rather hard to throw your body in certain directions while your going up or down a hill or serious off camber and trying to maintain throttle. IMHO, I think that's why they came up w/ the thumb throttle. If your strictly go fast and turn or a dune rider I'd say go twist. If you do mostly trail/technical riding then stick w/ a thumb throttle.

 

Twist on a 2 stroke, thumb on a 4. On a small, low powered bike like the z250 it might be fun to use the twist anyway though.

 

My opinion is that when you have a twist you have more grip then a thumb because your hand is alittle open...I'd go for twist on track and thumb for trails or dicking around....it is pretty much what you prefer...

 

for me its twist all the way. the thumb throttle makes my hand cramp but it all depends on what feels comfortable to you

 

Where can I pick up a twist throttle for the Z 400 when I pick it up? I am going to go that route I think...

 

go here parts
1551 American Way Payson, Utah 84651
somewhat close to you

 

Thank I will never ask where to buy parts again!!!

 

they are great people never had a problem with them or anything I ever got from them. and I have spent a lot on parts from them
glad I could help. I kinda know where roy is I have a lot of family in provo and SLC

 

Yeah I am going to drive up there soon and buy a whole bunch of stuff. I need to get some riding gear also.

I am not totally sure if I am going to buy the twist throttle. Although I ride mostly in open areas. I am not sure though because my thumb does get kind of tired at the end of the day!!!
