I know I've seen it done before. I would think it would be as easy as finding a cable that is compatible with your carb.

just find out what kind of carb is on your bike, match it up to a quad that has that carb and buy that throttle cable. For instance my ktm 250sxf has the same carb as a yfz 450!

most of the new four strokes have fcr carbs(39-41mm), so yfz450, trx450r cables will work. I did this when putting a twist throttle on my crf450r hybrid, I bought a 04-05 trx450r twist throttle kit, so why wouldn't it work reverse?? just will have to plug the top cable opening. I now use a stock crf450r twist throttle and cables(the vortex twists way too quick).

I've seen it done on a 50 before. It's not impossible just gotta get the thumb throttle (any quad) and the cable.;)
