twist throttle

[Herpderplol]

I had the twist on my black bike for a couple weeks before it sold...

All i have to say is that im glad i dont on my new one... I have troubles letting off with my thumb throttle to stay down

i've always found it easier to give more precise control on a ATV with a thumb throttle, in any situation. have you ever stepped off to the side or the front of a atv to get it unstuck, while giving it throttle? so much easier with a thumb throttle. on the other hand, i would never think of putting a thumb throttle on my motorcycle.

I am running a twist on mine. I am a big fan so far. I have always owned dirtbikes and street bikes. The thumb throttle was never really in my comfort zone. I'm glad I switched!

I have 2 Yamaha jet ski that have thumb throttles and no clutch . I have a 900 sportbike twist grip that's fine. But the thumb throttle does not feel right to me on this Blaster . Ive watch several videos of owners riding and racing Blasters . The ones with thumb throttles are constantly reving the motor all the time and did not ride as controlled as others were. So I may be glad I switched like you did .

I put a twist on the ct bike cause I always rode dirtbikes. . I put the thumb throttle back on just because it felt wierd on a 4 wheeler to me..but I also screwed up n didnt order a 1/4 turn twist and I had to twist back to far for full throttle n felt like it could be an accident waiting to happen..but whatever someone feels comfortable with is all that matters..I'll give the twist another go round once i get use to this molested monkey blastersaurus

I just ordered a twist grip today and will test and report back later.

Take care for the first few rides, you have to learn to use it.

I bet it will give you a few quick adrenaline rushes until you learn its little quirks.

The new twist grip throttle came today . I got a cheap one for $15 to see if I like it , or face certain death ?

If it's not a 1/4 turn one you will hate it!

Its a 1/4 turn...Motion Pro I have a cable and an adjuster to use.

Take it easy for the first few rides, when you get used to it you will like it.

Remember to hold it wrist low, not high like on a two wheeler.

So I will have to agree with the above post... the more I rode with the thumb throttle the more I liked it. The place I ride has a woods course and an small oval track . I used the TWIST one day and the THUMB the next.

Woods course ..Slower 2,3,and 4th gears.
The thumb throttle is easy to blip and scoot around trees. Slowing down quickly , just let go of the thumb and reach for the front brake hard , unlike a bike the front washes very little. Good control , faster than twisting wrist. I made sure Blaster would idle so it would not shut off on tight turns like it would sometimes using the twister.

Oval Track... Faster 4 and 5th gears.
Slides but front stays planted with air adjusted (unlike dirtrack bikes ). Rear kicks out more with use of the rear brake, like a dirttrack bike. I can see that trying to reach twist throttle with bars at full lock is kinda hard, since you are sitting down/ leaning.. There is a small and a large jump in the infield that can be jumped either way.On this, the thumb throttle proved harder to control since you do not have a firm grip .Here, I could see where the twist could be better than the thumb, more so if it was a full MX track. We plan to add more jumps to the track infield and woods faster sections later this year.
