02Shee Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 im gettin bored of my thumb throttle and im also gettin wrist pains. so im lookin into twist throttles. ummm main question is how do you guys like them? are they hard to get used to? and also are they hard to jump with or ride trails with? thank you in advance.o yea also how are they to install? thank you Vinny Quote
nater006 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 (edited) I like mine. Much easier for me for riding for long amounts of time than it is to use the thumb setup. I use it everywhere and have never been inconvenienced or had rideability compromised by having it. If you convert, you'll need an idle kit. Otherwise the quad won't idle with the twist throttle installed. Even that isn't too bad to install though. Edited April 12, 2004 by nater006 Quote
SICK BOY Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 People love them or hate them.I use to ride dirt bikes so it feels normal to me. Quote
jonnyrebel2004 Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Mine was on my Banshee when I bought it, so I dont know how hard they are to install, but I love mine. I trail ride and have not had any problems with it. Hope this helps. Quote
02Shee Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 thanks alot guys. im probaly gonna go with Motion Pro Twist Throttle and Idle Kit off of rockymountainatv.com. if you guys know any better deals let me know. thanks again. Vinny Quote
sredish Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 They install real easy and look a hundred times better on the bars. Quote
banshee tuner Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 I run the motion pro twist and wish I would have done it when I bought the bike. My arm used to get so sore that riding was not fun after riding very long. It takes about 30 minutes and takes a lot of clutter off the bike. Quote
02Shee Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 alright thanks alot im gonna order it now and proably get it in 3 days and if i run into problem u guys will be the first to hear about it. thanks again Vinny Quote
stu Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 if you have aftermarket carbs, i got pwk35's, and a twist throttle do you still need the idle kit or is it only for stock carbs?? stu Quote
Schizo Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 if you have aftermarket carbs, i got pwk35's, and a twist throttle do you still need the idle kit or is it only for stock carbs?? stu Idle kit is for stock carbs only. Quote
LegendSS28 Posted April 13, 2004 Report Posted April 13, 2004 Go with the twist, if dirtbike riders can handle it, I think you all can Quote
stu Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 yeah but on dirtbikes you dont need to hang onto the bars in the same way as on a quad. id say try out the twist and make sure you give it enough time to get used to it as it is very different!! but i prefer it now to the thumb unit stu Quote
jeffro189 Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 i had a problem with my 35mm carbs and a twist throttle, i had to have a custom cable made by motion pro. just tell them the carbs, and the twist set up you have and the will make it. but that is only if you have that problem. Quote
super88_banshee Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 i was thinkin of going the same route too. i have stock carbs but no TORS. it has the idle screws in the side but you don't need the kit if you have a drill and a tap. my dad did that on mine and it works great. plus it saved about $24 or so Quote
