heres the deal i rode 4wheelers for years and have been riding for about three years now and im starting to see more and more thumb throttles around and that is somehting that i would love but have never had the chance to ask anyone........r people just making them or is there a site that sells them for a reasonable price

 

jesus christ.

 

Just take 2 wheels off your quad

 

funny.......... no im being serious though i just wanna see if its more comfortable to me

 

take one off of a four wheeler
could just try something to see if it works instead of paying a lot on aftermarket parts and not being creative.

 

Just get one for any quad and measure the cables. I dont know if a thumb throttle has 2 cables though

 

and i have though of that i just didnt know if anyone had one and liked the feeling of it or how the movement was and the response

 

Oh, in that case Bill D runs it. I'm thinking about it just because it'll give you more grip with your right hand and then I can start doing one handed wheelies.

 

they only have one cable i have been looking and comparing i just didnt know if it would be short movement or to much in the response

 

thumb throttle on a bike?


First thing I did to my quad was put a twist throttle on it

More grip?

How can you hang on better without your thumb, then with your thumb?

When you do a pull up, do you let your thumbs dangle? Or do you grab on with the thumb so you can hang on?

 

+ 1

i'd think that a throttle tube would be more controllable

 

i have been kisking this idea around for a while now...but i have a really bad wrist too

 

i was on a three wheeler the other day, and it seemed pretty easy to operate, but then again it was a little 1 cylinder POS, and i'm assuming as soon as u get a bigger motor under u, the thumb throttle is much harder to use as opposed to a throttle tube

 

mine is just real stiff and sometimes sticks and nobody knows how to help me out

 

see i have metal in both of my hands from the military and when i ride for a long time my right hand goes numb from twisting it but doesnt do it on my 4wheeler so thats another reason for me

 

your throttle cables are prob just binding. mine did that outta no where, and i had to re-route them all funky for it to finally snap back. try throwin some WD down the cable shaft, too, might help

touche

 

On a quad you have only one tiny spring holding the trrottle back and one carb or throttle body on a bike you have 4 so it is mouch harder. Your had has more power than your thumb
my roomate tried to do this stupid *** conversion and took it off after about five minutes of it in the garage.

 

the thing is i can only practice as much as my hand allowes cus im on all kinds of pain killers daily and on days i ride i dont take them but id rather die then not be able to ride

 

i broke my foot riding; and three weeks later i was back riding as much as possible...i go crazy when i cant ride for more than 2 days
