  |
|
Hey Guys, a bit of a newbie to sports quads had a 660 grizz before now running a raptor700r, do many of you guys run a twist throttle or still use a thumb set up? Have had dramas putting the power on whilst turning hard.
Keen to find out what youse think.
Cheers Ben |

I only ride a grizz but I find if turning hard right I sometimes use my middle finger to pull the throttle from the front instead of pushing with my thumb as my arm is above the grip instead of behind it Hope I'm making sense bit hard to explain Try it without the bike running and see if it works for you

Hi Ben, i have always had twist throttles on all my quads and trikes. Its definitely easier with thumb throttle in my opinion.
