Throttle

[banshdog]

I know that this topic has been posted before. Want to get some opinions.

 

I have read that there is a spring that can be removed which will reduce stiffness in the throttle.

 

I was considering buying the longer thumb throttle as well.

 

1. Who has removed the spring in the throttle housing? Does this give a noticeable difference? Any problems? (throttle more likely to stick?)

 

2. Who has the longer thumb throttle? How much difference will i notice with this?

3. Any other recommendations, parts, or mods that I should consider?

 

Thanks.

1. You don't take out the whole spring, just cut off a little to make it softer

 

2. Get a twist throttle

 

3. Quit being a pussy and ride till it doesn't hurt

How do you really feel!

 

Maybe you should try a new throttle cable. I never had problems with my thumb throttle even with the old stock carbs. Another option is to go with a single carb setup. I hardly even tell I'm pushing the throttle on my 33pwk.

ride more often, or get one of those longer thumb throttles from cascade or modquad.

Your thumb throttle is not stiff, maybe your just soft? J/K I dont really see why people think that banshee's have stiff throttles? When I first got my banshee I thought it was fairly stiff the first couple of rides. After that I didn't even pay attention to it.

The cascade lever is the way to go! I recently installed them on both Banshee's I own & it helped alot!!

Are you using stock carbs?I'm using 35mm Keihin pwks.You talk about a stiff throttle.It was awful.After about 5 or 6 passes,I could not even hardly push the thing.I don't like twist throttles.Tried a rubber throttle extension.Hated it.I would not remove the spring.Instead,Take the spring out and with it not compressed cut about a 1/2 in. off each spring.Then reinstall them.That should help.
