LaegerEliminator Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm going to disagree on the precision. But you're right. Twist do not belong on quads. We each have our preferences and experiences. I've just found that I can control the throttle much more precisely, especially when it counts for controlled long wheelies or technical riding/manuevers.

Bennett131 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I dislike twist throttles. I once was trail riding, hit a rock, and it jerked my bars. The result was, I sent the quad through the trees at a pretty good rate of speed. I think they could have a place, but it's not on a trail bike.

Scrubby Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I grew up twist, 86 tecate, ex factory bike, didnt understand why uncles 200x had thumb, Ive never had situation unless, I was switching back to twist, its personal preference, but totally disagree that twist doesn't belong on atvs. From what ive seen is most that don't like twist didn't grow up twist, or never had twist, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I did some wrenching on the bike today. Do not get a honda throttle for some 39's. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/DSC02200_zpsnpjk4k6a.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/DSC02201_zpsar3uidhd.jpg That's how much metal i had to take out for the 39's to open all the way.

pp13bnos Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 With the cascade thumb throttle, and lighter springs in my 39s, I was pretty happy with my the feel of it. Was there another reason you decided honda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Honda throttle all the way, if you need you can go to the easy carb springs(you should have jacked off with right more often) If you know how to ride a whoop section on a atv you'll know a twisty throttle has no business on atv.....I was in a pinch once and put a thumb throttle on dirtbike(don't ask) huge mistake....lol...I just wanted to ride though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there another reason you decided honda?hav The carbs already have easier springs. I didnt like my cascade stock throttle extension since my thumb had to reach too far making me release my grip. I'm going to look for a stock thumb for cheap and use that. I cant do an aftermarket piece right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. Sorry that happened. I guess we know the limits of the Honda throttle now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Can someone explain how it can possibly be my error of the throttle not working? This is a quote from pm from a person who is the Honda expert or whatever who I will NOT name. everyone i ever see looked and worked properly with no cutting. You dont have it put together correctly and there is no need to dremel out the side of it. Operator error. I put on on a blaster, 200x, banshee, kfx450r kfx700. Ive use LT250R throttles also. Never has any issues and been in the game 27 years......If you go not get the square to seat under the throttle pivot it will travel too far and cause what you see.That makes no sense to me. The throttle was bought new. Due to mechanical limits, it would not open 39's. So I had to make the throw longer to increase its mechanical limit. I didn't mod anything before I tried to see if the carbs would fully open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out them. I grinded mine. Wouldn't open my 35's all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Out them?Who said it. Because I'd love to know why I had to grind Mt throttle. Also why so many others have had to as well.

RagunCajun Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Pics of clutch cover, i love shiney shit. Sure. I just finished installing it. I forgot about modding the inside nipples from the front circular plate before installing due to the lockup. So i did that. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/polished%20cover%20install%206-6-16%201_zpsz8y9vkfn.jpg Then reinstalled new seals, gaskets and water pump bearing. That's buttoned up: http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/polished%20cover%20install%206-6-16%203_zpscd9gzkbf.jpg Then installed the cover, TQ'ed that down, then put on the brake master, brake pedal and foot peg then put the radiator hose on. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/polished%20cover%20install%206-6-16%208_zpshxsr0gdq.jpg And that's it for this evening.
