mignumspeed Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 i just broke my thumb throttle i used to have a twist on my 250r but i havent seen any in a while on a banshee so could someone tell me where i could get a twist at?and do yall like the twist or should i go back to my thumb? Quote
harbinger of death Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I love my twist, but you will get comments both ways. some love them, some hate them. motion pro sells twist throttle conversions and if you still have tors you can get the complete kit- throttle and idle kit. I have the vortex throttle-only 1/4 turn full throttle so you dont have to turn your wrist so far Quote

Just about any place that sells aftermarket parts would have one. I had one form Trinity and I really liked it. But, like said above, you'll likely get mixed reviews about it. I would rather have a twist but my wife got me a kick ass triple chromed thumb throttle for xmas last year so I doubt I'll get anouther twist any time soon! SP Quote
harbinger of death Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 whats the deal with the idle screws why do u have to drill out the carbs? i really liked the one on my 250r ! the idle adjustment is in those big ugly tors carb tops so if you remove them you have to drill and tap your carbs and install new idle screws. Its pretty easy, just read the directions-make sure you understand them before you drill, cause ive heard of people drilling the wrong side of the carb. take your time, read and reread directions and above all else use lube when you tap the carbs. youll get it. its worth it too.

terr1bleone Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) i have one on my 7mil, comming from dirtbikes all my life i don't really like thumb throttles. im using a motoin pro kit and it was pretty simple to install. Edited January 24, 2009 by terr1bleone Quote

bansheeseat$$ Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Same with me,I run 1/4 twist on all my shee's.Hate thumb throttles with a passion. Quote
Sandfrk33 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Twist is the only way to go . I like the motion pro better than streamline. Quote
jimbob Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 ive had a few of the tweisties and i hate them with a vengance, their a nightmare for arm pump. its not like im not used to twisties either coz ive been a biker all my life and also have an 05 repsol fireblade but theres just something fundamentaly wrong about a twisty on a quad Quote
liveordie72089 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Depends on how you ride... Whats your style??? For drag twist is a must... But as for me Twisting a throttle and hitting the front brake is just complicated and just seems hard lol... So Ill stick with my thumb... Quote
Darthwall Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 for straight aways and drags twist is the way to go but if you do alot of tracks and trails I wouldnt recomend it! it will work but sometimes screw you over. Quote
BSHEE400 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 +1 for motionpro, i run the turbo model and could never go back to the thumb Quote
