TIM LUTZ Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have never rode my Banshee with a thumb throttle. I'm going to swap out my twist throttle in hopes of improving control and lap times on tight XC and hare scramble tracks. I have heard that the Honda 400ex and TRX450R units work well on the banshee and feel even better than the aftermarket units. I'm looking for some feed back on this. I'm running 28PWK's Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I rode a banshee with the 400ex thumb throttle and was very comfortable and easy.<br /><br />Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2<br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIM LUTZ Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Try it or sell it to me. I have heard that it is the cadillac of the thumb throttles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIM LUTZ Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 running one on mine. works great. had a terry cable throttle on before and my hand would go numb. Tim, is that 450r or 400ex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-O-Steele Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 im pretty sure its a 400ex. i got it off ebay for $15. i dont know if there is a difference in the 450 or 400. we have a 450r also. i look when i get a chance and see if they are physically different.

Surfrjag Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have one as well it works i just had to cut some on the inside to get wot. Its actually longer to wot though thats why its easier to push.. . I dont think you can use it on carbs bigger than 28mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man-O-Steele Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 im running 33pwks and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99michael Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have a 400 throttle on my cr 250. An with a 38 pwk on it, it does not quite open all the way, even after cutting into the housing to get more through. but it is real close, close enough for me not to worry... Probably Gona get crap for haveing a thumb on a bike,, but I absolutely love it. Lot better control for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 if you want a little more comfort yet, put a TRX90 lever in a 400EX throttle housing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 do you just need the housing? or do you have to use the honda cable as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
