blueshee03 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 be very careful and alert with the twist throttle till you get used to it!!!!!it can be tricky.if you have aftermarket carbs and your tors is already removed you should'nt need an idle kit. Quote
Brian060 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 twist throttles are a death sentence be careful and good luck Quote
Duninshee Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 twist throttles are a death sentence No it isn't. I've had a twist sice I bought my banshee 2 years ago. Its so much nicer than a thumber. Quote
ssanddemon Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 I put on a twist right after I bought mine, and it worked great until the mods started bringing bigger power. I got the 'deathgrip' a few times and almost had some problems. Put the thumber back on, but it gave me such a bad carpal tunnel-type thing in my forearm that I had to put the twist back on. Just gonna have to be careful in the off-camber stuff I guess. Quote

racer Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 are you talking about arm-pump? 342123[/snapback] i think he is. im up in the air on a twister. but i think that for now, a good thumb setup with a well oiled cable is hard to beat on a quad. but i have seen thumbs on a bike, and thats shit im not tryin anytime soon.

cb67rs1 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 i wouldnt put a twist throttle on my nutz even if i knew i would feel better when my wife was giving me a blow job, they are too dangerous ! Quote
ssanddemon Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 are you talking about arm-pump? 342123[/snapback] Nope, it was from trail riding with the buds at Glamis. We were going out for like 3 or 4 hr. trail rides a couple times a day when we were there for vacation. I like to hillshoot, but the buds like the 'follow the leader' crap and after a couple of days of zapping on and off the throttle to stay in the band while with the group, my thumb just started to give up. I could feel the tendon for my thumb muscles creaking and binding and my forearm swelled up. Hurt like a bitch, made riding agony. Switched back to the twist and it was like heaven. Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 I hate twist cause I learned on thumb and I take every little bump in my wrists so when i go over a bump when i'm on a twist throttle I goose it and almost eat shit. Thats why i don't have a bike Quote

A quad is always going to follow the angle of the terrain, and the rider has to hang on; he is often holding his body out to one side or the other from the footpegs and handgrips, resulting in throttle bind as he hangs on. I have not noticed it so much with wide open terrain, but in the off camber tree chutes I love so much, it can be a problem especially when the paddles grip hard and it launches. When the slot is only 4 ft. wide with trees or a dropoff on either side, it can get a little hairy. Quote
