ZIGGYBAM Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Got a Motion Pro twist throttle kit...do i need to get any other parts to install this? I think the tors kit is included in it, but i saw something about an idle kit? I thought the kit covered everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 If you remove the TORS you need to drill and tap the holes on the outsides of the carbs to install the new idle screws since the TORS have the idle adjustment on them originally.

Burke Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Is your twist throttle a 1/4 turn... If not, you're going to hate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 If you have larger carbs you will want to order the longer adjusters that thread in to the carb tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIGGYBAM Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Its a 1/4 turn...my friend gave it to me when he sold his bike(he never installed)....maybe its more hassle than its worth.....i like twist throttles better, but its not a huge deal if i have one...why is a 1/2 turn worse than a 1/4? Thats not even something i considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did have a couple close calls as a youngster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I put a thumb throttle on a bike once—-wanted to ride for the day. That was interesting. Anyone here running a twist throttle on there shee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99michael Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I put a thumb on all my 2stroke mx bikes when I had them. I personally can ride twice as good with them instead of the twist. I mean can ride a bike with a twist, but it really limits me on my confidence on moving my bodyweight around.. Just takes cable from a 250r an your favorite throttle housing to make it happen. Rode a twist on a 400ex.. never again will I ride one on a quad unless it was a drag bike.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I had twist throttles on every quad I've owned... 1/4 turn just allows you to get to WFO without regripping the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here running a twist throttle on there shee? I've never owned one with a thumb. I bought my first one specifically because it was a twist since I started on bikes. I rode my buddy's 400ex as a kid and said no way to thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeMachining Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 On a dirt/road bike you lean to turn, on a quad, you turn/use the handle bar... That's why you have a thumb throttle on quads and snowmows. Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JokurAtkinson Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I love my twist throttle. I was hillclimbing with the thumb throttle and my thumb locked up and i rolled my banshee. Will never run thumb again. But i have also been racing dirtbikes for 14 years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
