04/05 throttle on 08?

[nick15]

hey guys i was wondering if this can be done and if so has any one done it i no the 08 has the wire running out of it to the carb and the 04/05s dont is there away to swamp them and eliminate the wire?

Yea, just splice the wires together and your good to go.

the 04/05 doesn't have the throttle/slide safety(tors), but that doesn't matter as it can be eliminated anyways without issue

He is talking about the wires that go into the actual throttle of the 06+ models with a FCR carb. He just needs to splice those wires together. He can follow it down to the green plug and do it there.

NICK15,
YOU HAVE TO SPLICE THE WIRES TOGETHER!!!!!!!! That switch inside the throttle housing is a normally open switch! Do not just disconnect it, otherwise quad will not start @ idle. What I did was cut it @ the connector(green connector) and spliced it together.

What I did was cut it @ the connector(green connector) and spliced it together. actually the carb is a normally closed at rest the throttle is normally open at rest, ...the best place to splice it is right at the cdi and eliminate it completely, this is a quick brakedown of how the throttle/carb safety(tors) or throttle over ride system works

lol,,, I thought he was talking about swapping the carb not the throttle...I guess i should have read it better!!


do it the way airmobile says and its fine!!now if you swapped carbs then get ride of whole system

[nick15]

thatnks for all the help guys im going to do the swap i have a 04 and 08 and may sound stupid but i like the feel of the 04 throttle way better but maybe its all in my head

I know alot of people that switch out the newer throttle blocks for 04/05 ones. It frees up space on the bars especially if you run side wraps

[airmobile101]

That switch is a piece of junk anyways. And, it actually has a pretty good failure rate track record. Even if you don't swap throttles, disconnect it and splice the wires together!
