barefoot bob Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) they dont suck . they work. bad farmer bad farmer you are right they do work but its much nicer with a twist i didnt think about it but alot of people that have bought quads have never been up on 2 wheels so twist would seem foreighn but if you notice those that have played both sides of the fence all say twist theres a hidden meaning if you play this backwards :tapdance: Edited February 12, 2007 by barefoot bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BrownSand Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I grew up on a dirt bike but when I bought my quad I gave the thumb dumb a chance. :mc_smiley: LAME is all i can say for it. whats the point? you don't have any more control, you can't grip the bar as well. The only drawback is, hard left turns are a reach to stay in the gas. 1/4 turn is the way to go! :mc_smiley: :mc_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinicolady Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have a twisty on my quad (it is an automatic tho), love it, wouldn't have it any other way. Had my hubby put one on the new to me Warrior while it was being rebuilt. Didn't want the thumb throttle. Personally, I like the control I have with the full grip.

GirlWithHorns Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 twist throttles are okay if you are on flat ground but if you hit a bump it can make you give it hella gas. maybe its just because i wrecked a quad with a twist that i hate them so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YFZ Chick Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Alright the deed has been done... Didn't take very long a couple of beers and a little bit of motivation and it was done in about 20 min. Total cost was $50 for parts (throttle and new grips) and 18 pack if beer for labor. (Have a bit of a connection that is a hell of a wrencher.) I let you know what I think of her, after the great weekend. Thank you guys for all your input.

Handy Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have twist on my Tecate and I love it, had normal play like a 2wheeler. My mums boyfriend Jerry's has like no play in it and is just really uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cheese Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 from all the replies, this is what I gathered.. those that started on twists really like the twists those that started on thumbs, really likethe thumbs bob needs to renew his prescription Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 If I ride with a thumb for more than a half hour then I can hardly move my hand, let alone put pressure in with my thumb. You just gotta learn how to properly use your arm and wrist with a twist, for me atleast I know to stiffen it and grip tighter on the whoops so I don't dump it all out and flip back.

YFZ Chick Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Alright I know I have been home for a day now and haven't said anything about the new throttle. :ahhhhh: (If anyone really cares of the outcome.) I loved it, I was able to ride as much as I wanted no sore thumb, no arm pump, no hitting a bump and giving it hella gas. (Whatever that is about, it's called a little control, and maybe not weak wrist.) Anyway I would suggest it to anyone that has ridin with a twist before, it was an easy fix, not to spendy, and I was able to enjoy riding a lot longer. Thanks you everyones input.
