My buddy has one on his Banshee, but I'm more comfortable with a thumb for some reason. He's owned 3 Banshee's and each one got a twist before he even drove it.

I hate thumb throttles,the twist throttle is better for me.the thumb throttle hurts the thumb during races.Get a motion pro vortex twist there awesome for sport Quads.

I have used twist throttle's and I dont care for them, The people that I know that do use them, they say they love them because they ether have them on there dirt bikes so they like them, or they say that there thumb gets tired (mine never does because I ride wheelers in summer and snowmobiles in winter.)

I have a 99 mxzx 440 (sno-x sled) My dad has a 01 mxz 700, my bro has a 99 mxz 600 and my other bro has a 97 formula z 583.

Do you have a sled?

Nice stable of sleds you got there. Personally I would have a hard time choosing between yours and your dads.

I indeed have a sled...It's a Mach Z-R. I like it, but it's a bit much for the trails around here and I am considering an MXZ.

It was the first thing I did to my raptor.Thumb got wore out in about ten min. I've had many dirt bikes this is my first quad.I don't know how you can use the front brake while working the throttle with your thumb.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
