didnt think i would either until i put the vortex on
now its a big diff going back to stock thumb

 

Maybe a slower twist would help, the vortex is too fast IMO and too sensitive.

Did you use your stock throttle Ward?

 

got the kit used cable and twist assembly
thought about slower one but im more comfortable with thumb
what is throttle ward?

 

Ward is Ward660r.
I know some just like a thumb rather than a twist. Growing up on dirt bikes I could not adapt to the thumb throttle.

 

Yamaha uses the dual carb setup for better throttle response. Like sixsixt said, it can be too sensative. If it is, you will have a tough time maintaining speed at less than wot and tougher times riding trails and hillclimbs.

 

so i guess the answer would be no to h.p. thumb

 

High performance, no. But the aftermarket ones are suposed to be more commfortable and easier to push.

 

amazing 100+hits seems like a popular thing
yet no one makes one ??

 

I've had experience w/ both the Terry Cable, and HPD units. Both top notch billet pieces. Match them up with some frequent doses of Tri-flow spray, and you'll have all the thumb throttle smoothness you can handle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thoise Performance thumb throttles are expencive arent they. I like the stockers
