Me and my buddy ride 2005 yfz450's.After riding hard for 20 min our thumbs are killing us,
What can we do to fix.Thanks.We trail ride mostly.

 

There is a ton of information on this topic at YFZ Central or Blue Traxx.

 

How long have you been riding for???

When I first started my thumb killed, but afterwards you start working those muscles and the paint goes away. I don't feel anything now. I also took my throttle housing, and turned it up more so I wouldn't be pushing with the tip of my thumb but more so with the whole finger.

You just have to get used to it.

MIke.

 

hey i got your fix if you want to know i'm not going to repost the whole thing email me up or IM me on AIM or yahoo check my profile or PM me... ;-)

 

Put a twist throttle on it............

 

they sell thumb throttle extenders this way u use more of the finger so your thumb dont hurt

 

na those extenders are nice and all but not very comfortable, i have the best way tot do it and its the spring inside your carb...

 

The Cascade throttle extender is very comfy and eliminated any sore thumb problems. It sticks out further from the bars for more leverage. This also makes it easier to use the palm of your hand which is nice in cold weather or when traveliing longer distances at a constant rate of speed. The only downfall is if you ever go over the bars, the lever is very likely to snag on your pants as you 'fly' by. Still, I feel it was $40.00 very well spent. (I have seen other brands cheaper{Moose?}, but don't remember where off hand.)

 

go bye a 400ex thumb throttle it will fit right on no problems!!! and there alot better

 

Save your money for something better......just ride it awhile .... you get where there's no pain at all.

Now something I would consider putting money in is a softer seat![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
