Glenyboy Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Came across this, by the time you tidy up a stock honda one (as most are in bad condition). You may as well get one of these, they come in silver or black.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Trx-450r-Trx450-Trx450r-Polished-Billet-Thumb-Throttle-Easy-Pull-Assembly-/230997313561?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c8834819 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definatly a down grade from the stock housing. Definetly harder to push, an the extended lever was uncomfortable. I also had one of them boysen shock grip deals or whatever they are that came with the throttle, and same story. Factory honda was better. IMO.

Glenyboy Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks for the info Michael. I have seen some new ones on there for sale but they are not genuine ones. They're reasonably priced but can imagine that they won't be as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowidenfast Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 So the damn throttle assembly does not fit my handlebars. My bars are 7/8 and I guess the assembly is for 3/4 bars. It won't sit all the way down on the bars. Going to try and grind it down a little to get a better fit. If that doesn't work, I'll be back in the market for a thumb throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Very strange. Maybe because it's for the 90?? My clamped on my 1-1/8 fat bar end and my flex ends. I thought all Atv/mx bars are 7/8 ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I read you only use the 90's lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowidenfast Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 So I finally got my quad all put back together with the Honda 90 throttle housing & it's really stiff. I lubed the cable and have double checked everything I know of - all seems to be in good order. I know some guys cut a coil or two off of the springs in the carbs but I'd rather that be a last resort (and have extra springs on hand in case I fuck them up). I read on a TRX forum where guys ditch the return spring in the housing altogether. I may try that first. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
