JasonR Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Cascade sells an aftermarket Billet thumb throttle that is longer than the stock one and uses a bearing to replace the stock bushing. Easier to push and it's long enough to push with the heel of your hand The banshee's thumb throttle is way stiff...I've rode a few raptors and never felt any discomfort with their thumb throttles... So is there any other real option besides a twist throttle? With a twist I'm afraid of throttling while using the front brake... Quote
uvbensmoked Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 it seems to me that most people on this forum only owned quads and i have owned about 10 dirt bikes and a half a dozen quads and to me i have more control with a twist throttle and comfort but then again thats my own personal opinion. i would give the twist throttle a chances. if you dont try it you'll never know and it is under a $100 bucks.

dirtyernie52 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 I recently tried to go to a twist throttle. its for sale I almost killed myself. Quote
nomad Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 My thumb has also been sore/swollen after a couple continuous hours of riding. But, I agree with the opinions that you need to used the bars to control the bike, but the twist does give you better throttle control. So, like someone else suggested, I started to take Advil my second time out before I ride and it does help. I have a twist throttle on my Tecate 3 and it gets hairy sometimes. I'm keeping the thumb and Advil setup, but I don't race either. Quote
