Is anyone running their Banshee without TORS on a standard thumb throttle? I have and the throttle seems very heavy. Guy at Yamaha suggested cutting a coil off the internal springs in the carbs but I'm not too sure about that. Have got a new cable system that I can install just in case the old cable is gunked up. Any advice?

Cheers Smile

cut the springs... i did mine in my keihins too

you can also buy "thumb throttle extenders"

its a longer lever for the thumb throttle housing, makes it easier to push
