Well I had a thumb on my beartracker, had a thumb on my warrior, but bought a twist throttle. and now I have a thumb on my 426ex. I like both...where's the option for me? haha...

Twist, after riding bikes and switching to ATV i could never get used to the thumb thing, its the first thing i changed :)

I leave that to the jetski's :)

I dunno if you noticed but nature gave us the thumb to help us grab on to things better... which applies double for me and my setup :)

yeah, on new quads the thumb won't hurt

on the r the carb is tight, thats why they put a twist on it

nah i dont think. i know for a fact the the Cobra 90 does.



I love my twist. best thing you can do is just take it easy for the first couple of hours and so youll get the feel of it. DONT USE THE DEATH GRIP.lol

I've ridden with a thumb throttle my entire life, I could never switch over to twist. My thumb has never gotten tired after a long day of riding, and I use to ride a Banshee (known for stiff throttle) and now I have a YFZ450 (also known for a "stiff throttle").
