Twist Or Thumb?

[loganskinner]

I had a twister on my Warrior. It takes a little getting used to but before long it'll be second nature. Even after you get used to it though, accidents will still happen with a twist throttle.

Twist is much better on your hand for fatigue, pro motocrossers use them for 20 minute motos riding 100%. I can feel a difference in grip strength on the bars with a twist too(much better)

Are you saying that accidents are more common with twist throttle? My Banshee is my first ever quad after years of dirtbike riding and I switched to twist so I don't have to re-learn the throttle. I just did not like the hesitation while my brain figured out you could not twist the damn thing. Seems like for me the twist will be safer but who knows?

It's harder to hold steady in rough conditions. Bumps can make you blip the throttle. I didn't have much trouble with it on the Warrior but have chose to stick with thumb on the Shee. I guess it's really 6 of one and half-dozen of the other.
