I broke my thumb throttle in my wreck yesterday (see Warrior Wreck Pics on the next page)
I was wandering, instead of buying a new thumb throttle, could I weld a piece of angle iron or something onto it? Or is it a different metal that wouldn't work? Thanks guys..

that might work or maybe steel.

 

the metal from the thumb throttle is pretty cheap pot iron. it is pretty hard to weld. I would take it to a weld shop and have it done. but yeah it would be a good idea.

 

Dude, don't be cheap and fix it right. A thumb throttle off ebay can't be but a few bucks. I hate it when my buds halfa** fix their quads, just for their cheap fix to fail and leave them either stuck out on the trail or unable to go at all. Plus the throttle system is a important part of your quad and for nothing more than safety reasons do it right.

 

Remake the whole thumb part outta bullitt steel... Make it shiny and you will go fast.....

 

hes prpbablly right you should just go buy a new one... the are cheap!!

 

Maybe off of ebay...I will look...but i don't have the money for a new one....I am trying to save up for a YFZ450.

 

Yeah I would go used. Also, a Raptor one will work too. My buddy took his warrior one off and put it on his Raptor.

 

look at www.rockymountainmc.com cheap ones there
