The only thing that locks the twist throttle movement in place is a pin that you push in and out (in the pic it is located below the thumb lever). You can run with it locked or not. I guess if you want to switch around you could run with it in the unlocked position. Though probably not something I would recommend for someone new to that setup.

Glad you like it and the grips must have been ok afterall.

so Cobly, if I grab one of these, willI be able to switch to the twist during easier parts of the track and then go back to the thumb during the rocky stuff or will it be hard to switch over on the fly?

id like to answer that question if thats ok.....I bought one for my gf for xmas and it took her about an hour to figure it out the first time, once she did she was embarrassed (its super easy) and was doing it with ease from there on out. People tend to really overthink thinks when there too easy, I mean cmon it cant be that easy right?, wrong its that easy lol

I love mine, the thumb throttle is kinda of a far reach, maybe its just how I had the stock 250r thumb throttle. I use the twist throttle most of the time, its a great product, thanks c&d for the good price, I'm stuck too much into a twist throttle. Its a real short throw, I like that for mx use.
I give it 2 thumbs up for someone who has friends that ride his bike sometimes, can't decide wheather he wants only a thumb or twist throttle. Woods riders would love this product, the twist for non-techincal trails/fire roads and the thumb for when going over logs and such.

We used one on the 07 TRX450R we raced at the Baja 1000. The thumb throttle feels very close to stock, and all of the twist guys on the team liked the 1/4 throw of the twist. It's a great design that uses the stock cable. Despite what DW says, it will work with the newer 06/07 450R Hondas. Here is a link to the install instructions we used for our 2007 450R.

I will buy one of these before I do another long race....this will be a thumb saver for SURE!!!

ok so I bought my GF one for xmas and she FINALLY got it installed....now heres the rub . The bike accelerates (from a stop) harder using the thumb over the twist . Any advice?, it should be exactly the same right?

[deathman53]

it might be like that because of the rider. If twisted it all the way open(the same as probaly was done on the thumb), they would accelerate the same. Also, it might be something about the whole thing with the twist throttle, its hard to twist it if you can't keep the front end down, its rather easy to do that on a thumb throttle.

didnt notice that someone replied

maybe but shes a very experienced dirtbike rider/ desert racer and I dont know about the wheelie power of a 1997 yamaha warrior thats never had any maintainance on it, it would probably be easier for me to just fix it for her but she'll never learn if I did, was just curious if anyone else had noticed that.
