Opinions on twist throttles

[Quadman250R]

i got a new twist throttle to replace my thunb throttle and i thought i would like a twist cause my dad used to have on and i liked it back then but now that i can ride better i hate it.....what are some opinions on what u think of twist throttles

[HondaEXrider22]

I have a twist on my 400ex. Works fine i like it, my dad likes it, its personal preference.

[Quadman250R]

did u ride with a thumb throttle before that? if u did how long did it take you to get used to the twist throttle?

I hate them in my opinion, they tire my wrist, but like you said its personal preference.

[theTman]

they put twist on a dirtbike for a reason....they put thumb on a quad for a reason....

i only like twist on dirtbikes...

i love my thumb throttle

[HondaEXrider22]

Well i have and have a thumb on my 250, had that for like 3monthes before the 400, i like it, it was more for my dad tho, coming off a jet ski and harleys lol

i love my twist. i can jump and corner alot better plus my hand never gets tired unlike when i had my thumb throttle

[LTandRaptorider]

definitely a personal preference... and what you are used to. I've ridden quads with thumb throttle for almost 20 years... :eek: short pause while I ponder all those years, and everybody else laughs at me... :p But I digress... Point is, thumb throttle is what I'm used to. A week ago a buddy let me take his KTM300 for a ride. First bump, throttle cracked open... ended up laying it over, but on me so no damage to the bike... ;) I will stick with thumb throttle my remaining years... :D

I personally like the thumb throttle on a quad...because it feels like you have more control...and then i like the twist on the motorcycle

I have a thumb on my 426, and a twist on my warrior. I like both, they both are awesome, and I can switch back and forth between em whenever I want and always ride the same.

Definatly personal preference.

it takes a good full day of riding to get used to a twist if youve never ridden one before. i love mine and woodnt go back.

i tried one on my quad, even gave it a few outings to see if i could get it down.

its hanging on the wall as a reminder not to try it again:p

I won one of these on another site. Put it on and tried it too for a few days and HATED IT! It always felt like full throttle or nothing when hitting rough stuff i nthe woods. Say goodbye to wheelies too. Mine is in a container of parts I have and if anyone wants it PM me and I'll sell it cheap

I feel that I have more control with the twist throtle. Also, I learned to ride on a twist throtle, so thats what i was used to.

im like mx610ex i can go either way, me and my dad switch back and forth b/w a 300ex and a yz250f every time we go riding, has ne one ever put a thumb on a dirtbike

[Dannys440]

For me it depends on what i am doing.This past weekend on the Hatfield/Mcoy ride I got mud between my grip and gloves and I couldnt turn it.(I am still feeling the pain)I am gonna get a thumb for long rides,and for everday riding I am gonna use the Twist.
