jbes3 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 So, when I ride, my thumb gets all cramped up from holding the throttle... I wear gloves, but the ones I had made it worse. I thought I saw some with a special pad or gel in the thumb to help reduce the stress on my thumb. Help me pick a nice set of gloves.... What do you guys recommend? Thanks!

iceman Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 the gloves wont help much. you need to either get a twist throttle, or a thumb throttle extender. or cut your spring. i guess four makes atv specific stuff though. you could try them. but i still dont think they will help much.

350TwinDeathBed Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I like my Thor's. I would have to say grab one of those grip exercisers and make that thumb stronger Personally, I'm not a big fan of the twist throttle, sometimes it'll pull when you don't want it to, like if you slip back on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cam2 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 a pair of MJ's gloves will take care of your problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've been riding twist throttle since I was a kid (grew up on dirtbikes) and I've never hit the gas unintentionally on the shee. Its just a matter of getting used to keeping your wrist rigid when you ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
