I saw some guy with a twist throttle on a warrior, he climbed out of a big ditch and then tried to put it in neutral, thinking that he had done his task he quickly jumped off. when he relized, it was creeping forward, and being the showoff that he is, he tried to stall it using the front break, but twisted the throttle he turned the bars and before you knew it there was the warrior at the bottom of the ditch with him under it. true story.

yeah, i think im going to put the thumb throttle back on cause its just to hard to ride trails and stuff with it, any info on the exhaust or air filter?

Lets see.. advice.. get a pipe set up and k&n filter. Get rid of the twist throttle or ull die on the trails.

More advice.. DONT TAKE SUDDEN OR SHARP TURNS!
