bluepartsman Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I did a search and couldnt find anything on this but there must be someone out there who has changed out that huge ugly looking stock banshee throttle for something more slick. I would love to be able to use something as simple as a snowmobile throttle. The fundamental difference seems to be that on a snowmobile the carbs are rail mounted and the large cable adjustment is done there where as on the banshee the carbs are spigot mounted and the large cable adjustment is done at the thumb throttle on the handlebars. Does anyone know of an aftermarket banshee throttle or the use of a simpler (snowmobile) thumb throttle that works??? if you got pics or web sites that would be great.

n2otoofast4u Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 You can have a custom cable built to run a sled thumb throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The sled throttle may stick when it gets mud or sand in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepartsman Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I guess the key is to get the correct amount of throttle travel for the carbs that I am using (Mikuni 34TM) while still being able to adjust them on top of the carbs for large throttle cable adjustments not just the fine adjustments that are normally done on the top of the wheeler. I do like the chariot look but its still not as simple as the sled thumb throttle. Monster, or anyone else, do you really think the throttle would stick with mud or sand?? I have to believe someone out there has done something like this? Yes the link to the cable and throttle is the concept I am looking for.

monster Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The throttle cable and pivot pin on throttle are not sealed! Not a problem on a snowmobile. I think it will work no problem just may stick if it gets mud or something in it. I had 38mm carbs on snowmobile you just adjust carbs on the carb cap for cable slack and sync. I no they make a simple thumb throttle just unable to find it. I like the the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie B Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I run a Honda 400ex thumb throttle. It's proven to be a better design with a light feel over the stocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5150banshee Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 The only thing that sucks if you have bigger carbs you can't run the Honda throttle it doesn't allow te carbs to open all the way not enough throw.

Trick2stroke Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I don't like the moose throttle. The thumb lever seems to stick out oddly far from the bars and is uncomfortable at anything less than 1/2 throttle. I'd second the honda thumb throttle from experience. However, I haven't used the chariot or any other throttles for comparison. As far as the throttle throw, the 250R has a 35mm carb, should work fine for up to and around that carb size. I have yet to use it with anything larger than 30mm's but once my motor comes together I'll be trying it with 36mm lectrons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KozyHeat Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 No way to mod the Honda thumb throttle for more pull? remove material from housing or a stopper plate, or relocate where the knarp sits in the throttle cam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
