BansheeCrasher Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Do they make aftermarket thumb throttles for the Banshee that strain the thumb less? I have carpel tunnel and other issues with my right hand from injury, so a day on the Banshee leaves my thumb and forearm aching. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I think Moose racing has a thumb throttle with a longer arm so its easier. But its like $100(im not really sure). Look into a thumb saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxtrixxx Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 why dont you just convert to "twist throttle" look on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgillivary Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 if you cant use a twist throttle you could always switch to one carb, much easier on the thumb, my thumb used to cramp up so much now its feather easy to push it little more pricey but youll gain some bottom end outta the change too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 moose and terry cable ones are pretty close to the same if i remember right. they are both easier to push than stock i think, but its still gonna play on your wrist. twist might be the way to go..

Banshee17Racing Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I've got one of the softest thumb throttles I've ever pushed. The 2 into 1 carb does help quite a bit. You can also cut 3-4 coils of off the springs in your carbs. Another thing to look into is a Honda thumb throttle (400ex, 300ex, etc.). It's not necessarily softer than the Yamaha, but it feels a lot more comfortable to me. I've done all of the above and I get a lot less arm pump.
