Re: thumb thrttle conv??

My brother used a 4-wheeler thumb set up used. I rode his bike a couple time and its not to bad. I dont think i would put one on my bike. But its to each his own.....

Re: thumb thrttle conv??

thats how bill d does his switchback wheelies....

you have different options with itt.

does not allow a full grip like a twist would

no return cable either for force shut if your throttle bodies were stuck.

haha... Thats what mine is and I want to get rid of it. You should have went with a 400ex throttle IMO. They are sooooo much easier to use. The YFZ Is just too stiff

Re: thumb thrttle conv??

Its great for lot riding. But if you hit up the streets it starts to get aggrivating after about 45 mins. to an hour.

I like having it but I think im gonna change it up in the near future

Re: thumb thrttle conv??

those dual gassers look sweet... I just wonder about the quality of the product it being Private labeled and all. I would also wonder if it is one at a time or if you can switch on the fly. I would probably prefer one at a time with some kind of switch over type deal.
