bansheeman1988 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Is this a common problem on banshee's? My throttle is about three times as hard to push as my buddies 400ex, whats the deal!! maybe a new cable would help? any suggestions would be appreciated! Quote
wesw Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 grind on the outside of the spring to weaken them do a search on stiff throttles or whatever been discuss many times. Quote
woodro77 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 i bought a aftermarket thumb throttle off ebay , and its the best thing i ever bought , 100 times better then the stock POS . looks trick too (chrome and red) Quote
Dave I. Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 I dont know if there are any for stock carbs but for my pwk carbs Jeff at Fast sells springs called (easy springs). Might be worth calling him and see if he has some. They made a big difference on my carbs. Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 new cable should do it mine are as easy as my friends kfx400 Quote

My throttle is about three times as hard to push as my buddies 400ex, whats the deal!! maybe a new cable would help? any suggestions would be appreciated! When I bought my bike it came with a honda thumb throttle already on it. Its really easy to push. I have ridden a few stock banshees and the honda throttle seems to be way easier. Plus its smaller and looks nicer. Quote
bonzai272 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 my first time out riding my brand new banshee was sore as hell on my thumb. I removed TORS and installed an extended billet thumb lever and its much much better. Quote
wesw Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 grinding the springs are free. save your self some money on goofy shit. Quote
BansheeRider71 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 my first time out riding my brand new banshee was sore as hell on my thumb.

bansheeman1988 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 alright ill grind the springs down, they are the springs in the carbs right? and ill lube up the cable with some wd40 Quote
jcbanshee Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 My throttle is pretty stiff to. I have the stock thumb throttle. I was thinking about cutting the springs down a little. Quote
Animalman294 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Ya, my PWK's came with lighter springs. and my thumb doesn't have any problems but I bought them from Jeff at FAST............ Quote
