keeks707 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Im thinking of buying the easy throttle springs from fast racing, but im pretty confused on how to install them. Does anyone have an idea or a "how to" guide on how to install these because my throttle is pretty stiff and only allows for a short amount of time on the dunes. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterThanU90 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Unscrew your carb tops and remove the cable from the slide with needle nose and install new springs, reverse process for install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns4children Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 You will need to stretch the springs a bit before you install them. When you order fast will put a note on your invoice telling you to call them. They walk you through the install once you have the springs in your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpd579 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just put mine in last week Best $5 I've spent in a long time I've broken my right hand X2 and have lots of trouble with a thumb set up. These really make a big difference. Super easy to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrodbanshee Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Couldn't you just shorten the factory springs some for a lighter throttle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickson483 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Couldn't you just shorten the factory springs some for a lighter throttle? It wouldnt be quite the same. The light springs have a smaller spring constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Couldn't you just shorten the factory springs some for a lighter throttle? Well the easy springs have a lighter tension, so it wouldn't be the same as shortening your factory springs even though I've heard doing that is still effective. Just make sure when you stretch and Un-coil the easy spring you use your current springs as a guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you could take some sand paper and make yourself easy springs by sanding material away. just sand up and down and spin it and it will make the spring weaker because material is removed.

Starwriter Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 You can also take the spring out of the factory thumb throttle and throw it away. It's only needed for the TORS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
