    Stiff Thumb Throttle???

    I hear that some of the Top Dawgs are making a mod to the throttle and making it easier without replacing the stock housing.

    Anyone know how to make it easier. Thanks!

    I hear lots of people saying the stock thumb throttle is stiff , but I dont seem to have any problems with mine . I thought it was one of the lightest on the market .... guess I was wrong .

    My YFZ throttle is not too bad but I have felt some that need work. I see alot of people using the EX set up. Its not that expensive, and there easy to find.

    My thumb would cramp really bad on my YFZ after only a few laps on the mx track. After doing some research, I decided to try out the Cascade Innovations thumb throttle (banshee/blaster model). Works like a charm! I was able to ride Birch Creek for a long time without even stopping because of my thumb. For 35 dollars, you can't beat it.

    i tried the cascade and because its longer than stock you have more leveareg and thus easier pull however, if you have bigger hands you scrape the bottom of you knuckles. usesless to large hands. bummer cause i really liked it.

    talked to east coast atv about this issue, and they suggested trimming up the return spring in the throttle housing to make it easier to pull.
