throttle ?'s

[fatkid400]

Ok,I've got an 06'. I just cut the TPS wires coming out of the body of the thumb throttle. Now I can run either a twist or an 04'/05' thumb throttle with out doing anything else right? Or are the stock cable pulls different lengths?

[E.POWERSPORTS]

Step up to the plate and run a twist. Also, I am assuming you connected the wires together?

[Quadster450]

yeah, ya need to connect the two wires together. i run a cr pro twist without any problems.

[fatkid400]

No, I left them unconnected,if I conneceted them and hit the throttle the bike shut off,seperate them and the bike runs fine.
The switch inside the throttle housing is an open circut,if it closes it shorts out.
But I'm wondering why you guys say to twist them together and I'm leaving mine apart with the same result.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION FOR 2006 HONDA TRX450R



The 2006 Honda TRX450R Electric Start / Kick Start models come equipped with a THROTTLE OVERRIDE SYSTEM that you will need to disable when installing your new Motion Pro twist throttle kit. The purpose of the system is to turn off the ignition if the carburetor slide were ever to stick open in the throttle body. This system will activate and your ATV will not start once the thumb throttle has been removed. Please follow the steps listed below and as always if you have any problems or questions, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND CONTACT MOTION PRO DIRECTLY.



1) After removing the hood and left front fender of the vehicle, follow the wire lead from the thumb throttle housing to the green connector mounted on the side panel of the frame. Disconnect the green male connector from the green female connector and remove the thumb throttle assembly.



2) You will now need to make a loop from the male plug that is attached to the thumb throttle assembly. This may be done by cutting the plug off and splicing the two wires together. We recommend that you cut the wires at least three (3”) from the male connector. Now plug the male and female connectors back together, and cover all exposed wires and connectors with electrical tape. THE THROTTLE OVERRIDE SYSTEM IS NOW DISABLED.

Like I said, If I splice the 2 wires together the bike shuts off anywhere past idle.If I touch the throttle at all,the bike dies. With the wire cut and capped(not spliced together) the bike runs as if I didnt touch anything.

that on the throttle housing is not the throttle position sensor. it is a switch as said before.
the throttle position sensor is on the carb...
