RIPPEN Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I would never have a twist on a ATV, have heard many horror stories about them.. RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak-j Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I have the Terry Cable dual gasser, awesome for the dunes. You can give your thumb a little break every now and then. Good for drag racing and climbing dunes, but I wouldn't recommend it for trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1banshee Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 im going to try out the twist on the shee at glamis and if i dont like it i can just remove the twist right there leave the cable and hook up the thumb? Or do i have to switch out the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariot Performance Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) ahh guess i will bring both then to glamis We have one designed which is superior in many ways to the competition. We have a bearing billet idler gear instead plastic which sticks in theris and wears through quickly causing a lot of slop. We have two ratios available on the same throttle (twist end). We have a billet twist tube instead of plastic. We have a positive stop which won't in any case release on it's own. We have a very positive stop on the throttle tube which won't be sloppy. We as always have great attention to detail. It will be out in about 2 months. Edited December 15, 2008 by Chariot Performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollinRhino Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Will it help with "Arm Pump"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regalrocket Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 My banshee came with a twist throttle, it was the first thing I replaced. I have ridden 250r's with twist throttles, and it was down right dangerous in my eyes. The machine is just too heavy to have a twist throttle. You need to be able to have a full grip, with no worries about moving a throttle. When I get into a bad situation, its nice to be able to pull your thumb off the throttle and just hang on for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariot Performance Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I won't have a twist on mine but if you like them or are used to them then just be careful. There is a lot of demand for them in any case. The combo throttle is useful especially on long hauls or drag racing or on manageable terrain.

ban99 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I may be in the minority but I think twist throttles are the only way to go. Also don't get why some of you guys think there so dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
