you can replace the tors without a twist throttle. most people on quads don't llike twist throttles they are dangerous

Thanks for the info ill keep that in mind , Thats what throttle i fancey using though

like i said don't know anyone that uses one. if you ever get grabbed by the back tire you will find out why. ever seen the way a pitching machine works? two wheels spinning and when you put the ball inbetween and it shoots it out at a high rate of speed. that becomes you when your foot goes under the tire and when you try to hang on you twist that throttle and spit yourself out the ass of the quad.

just email the seller on ebay

The kit includes everything you just need a new grip. Tape up the end when you glue it on so itll move freely. I use one on a banshee and my son used one on his blaster and raptor. We like them. The girls use the thumb throttle its their preference in my family.

Twists on quads are good for street riding and some duners like them though.
It's a very easy mod. Follow the directions and your on your way quickly.
To add to the above post they are harder on the wrist and tend to put more unnatural strain on them.
Reason being a quad is ALOT harder to turn then a dirtbike and the range needed to make a turn is greater.
Simply stated to turn a bike you pull but to turn a quad you have to push with one arm and also pull with the other. This is what make a twist harder.
If it's what you like then do it brother.

What do you need a jet size for? I don't see where you're changing anything to do with the air flow in or out of the engine.
As to tapping the throttle screw into the carb, use ONLY the proper provided tap drill, use some kind of cutting oil, work slowly, turn tap in half turn, back it out 1/4 turn,1/2 in, 1/4 out this is to break the chips the tap has created, be sure to clean carb completely after. Comepletely dissassemble carb before starting, both jets, float, float needle seat, slide.

I hated the twist throttle , never got the feel for it . Thumb throttle is the way to go IMO not saying you won't like it , it just wasn't for me .

I had a twist throttle on a blaster once, and I'll swear against it from now on. It was a more natural feel for me due to most of my riding is on two wheels, but after a good day of nasty wet trail rides, the forearm was beat. It's rough on the arm and wrist. Gets very tricky when the grip or your gloves get wet too. Just my perspective, glad to help. Very easy install though.

idc what everyone else says twist throttles are safer, at least for me, i almost killed myself on a tree last year when i took a hard turn and hit the throttle with my knee, or when i went over the handlebars and floored it with my body and ran myself over, think about it if your going over the handlebars a twist throttle will go back to the closed position when you roll over it, a thumb throttle goes faster. i will never ever use a thumb throttle again, plus its so much easier for taking right turns cuz you dont have to move your hand in a weird way to make your thumb hit the throttle, and with a twist throttle you always have your whole hand on the grip not just four fingers, as for installing it on a stock carb make sure you have the tors delete cable and cap, as well as the idle screw kit with the proper drill and tap, then follow the instructions it gives you, its very simple to do, but again, thumb throttles are bad!! haha
