It's refreshing to hear someone explain repairs without skipping a beat on who to DIY. I find myself wanting a twist throttle as well. I think it's more efficient and safer than the thumb throttle. Thanks for sharing.
I like the laugh when you first give it some gas with the twist throttle...that's a gonna have me some fun kind of laugh! I'm a motorcycle rider with Yammi Raptor on the side, never really understood the whole thumb throttle thing...seems like having the strongest digit on your hand griping the bar is probably a good idea. Going to try this conversion soon.
Thanks for this video. I followed it and my twist throttle works great! The only problem is finding the throttle. Out of stock on Amazon. I found it on eBay.
I have one of these on my atv and I've almost killed my self so many times with it cause I give it gas and I slide back and I give it more throttle while trying to hold on in my opinion I like the thumb throttle better
As God intended. Honestly, I never figured out why people get so "TRiGgErED" with twist throttles on a quad? People say it's dangerous for this type riding, or safe for that type of riding. Never had I ever had that issue. A friend, and a lot of people online said wheelies were impossible with a twist? I mean, I did just fine on both 4 and 2 wheels, but I'll admit it's slightly easier with a thumb throttle.
Recently found you looking for reviews on getting a Yamaha raptor. I thought the raptor is only a race quad. (What's your thoughts of having one) I'm glad I found you. If not I was looking into the Yamaha grizzly. any suggestions on quads or what to get and what to stay away from? Greetings from Wisconsin and keep up the videos you gained another sub!
Thanks for the Sub man! The grizzly and the raptor have the same exact engine believe it or not and they're both super reliable. Depending upon what kind of work/riding you're doing the grizzly is way more practical but if you're planning on mostly trail riding or having fun the Raptor might be the way to go. I like the Raptor because it is more sporty and I like having a manual transmission, thanks for watching!
Idk what i did wrong with my first twist throttle I bought... it was kinda clicky and the cable wouldn't return all the way. I tried a couple different ways to fix it and nothing seemed to work. The throttle is setup where it springs back if I push it by hand and it comes like 90% back with the twist throttle but the twist is kinda stiff and I have to manually twist it back then flick the throttle to get it to go all the way back down. I ordered a new one because during all the screwing around I messed up the plastic piece in the grip.
What are peoples thoughts on twist throttle to thumb when only used for road use Seen many debate on here 1 or other for off road What about on road Thanks all
I have, no problems. I will say there are times I wish I had the thumb throttle though, especially going over really rough/rocky trails. It's all preference though
LOL you are not done you need to glue that grip to that twist throttle before you install that grip or you will have problems down the road with the grip slipping while you're hauling butt through the trails
I have a question I bought my Suzuki LTZ 400 it came with the twist throttle I want to convert it back to a thumb I have the throttle but am I going to need a new throttle cable or could I use the one from the twist
Love your videos! UNFORTUNATELY, the Amazon link you provided goes to a conversion kit that does not fit a Raptor 700R. The link you provided goes to a motion Pro 01-2534. In fact, the product picture on Amazon is not the cable they send with the product. I am having such a tough time locating the correct product. This is actually the 3rd twist throttle conversion kit I have ordered over the course of a month. None of them work. Either the exposed cable is too short, the overall cable is too short, or in this case...both are too short. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!
@@Motoposh I seem to have an issue with the RPMs taking a long time to come down after the twist throttle resets. Did you have this issue? Is it due to the twist throttle just dumping more gas in the carb than the thumb? I know the rotary on the carb is completely resetting when I release...but the RPMs take a solid 3 secs to come down. any thoughts?
Nope its +5 inches wider than stock which sort of makes it appear lower and yes I do have street tries which effectively lowers the quad an inch lower because of the smaller tire size
Yeah haha I have + 2.5 inch spacers on each side, its a 2014. I really dislike how narrow the quad is stock, its top heavy and tips fairly easy around corners. The spacers help a ton
@@Motoposh well in my opinion it's not a good idea that's all I'm saying. If you ride on the street that's a different story but for off road I can't see how it's better
They make these things called dirt bikes which use this thing called a twist throttle idk if this is foreign language to you but its true and they go off road too wow

safer? no
funner? yes
Safer? How?
Use hair spray for the lubrication grips will slid on and then dry like glue

800 views with no dislikes. Nice video. Keep me up.
292 likes and 11 dislikes, where do you get your crack?
was there any adjustment in cable slack done post install or are you the luckiest person to ever install a twist throttle?
As God intended.

I have a twist throttle on my quad in just to warn you,Do not go over a bunch of pointy rocks
So what's the update do you like the twist throttle better or thumb throttle? Have you used it off road?
Twist is ass I’m switching back asap

MotoPosh thanks man! I would be doing a bit of mudding. But none the less keep up the great work.
I'd get the grizzly for doing stuff like that
An extra inch is always good to have.
Hi, what are your riding impression? Looking to put that on a utility atv because of thumb fatique on long trip.
Thanks!
I’ve seen bad stuff happen to guys with twist throttles on quads, Mx raceing they are ok
Good job. It was very good and I think it's better, it seems more practical.

Great videos man
Why does my new throttle cable not have a thread for the throttle body tho?
What are peoples thoughts on twist throttle to thumb when only used for road use
Seen many debate on here 1 or other for off road
What about on road
Thanks all
Killed it
Hey man the link doesn’t work anymore there sold out and I really want wrist throttle man plz help
Just like that.
Same on the 350 ?
Hey bro quick question have you taken it off roading with the twist throttle? Any problems with it ?
I have, no problems. I will say there are times I wish I had the thumb throttle though, especially going over really rough/rocky trails. It's all preference though
LOL you are not done you need to glue that grip to that twist throttle before you install that grip or you will have problems down the road with the grip slipping while you're hauling butt through the trails
Great video! Would you consider selling your OEM thumb throttle assembly?
ITS IN THE DESCRIPTION STUPID
@@luckas2942 Nice👍. A year late stupid.
@@luckas2942 He wasn't talking about the new throttle STUPID........
I have a question I bought my Suzuki LTZ 400 it came with the twist throttle I want to convert it back to a thumb I have the throttle but am I going to need a new throttle cable or could I use the one from the twist
Likely will need a new cable
nice video :) I Dunno why i dont like the twist throttle my wrist gets tired i think thumb is better :D liked
Wheelies are gonna be a pain now
We'll see! Haha
Shronda Boy nah bro
How do you figure? Countless dirt and pavement racers, not to mention stunters, don't seem to have a problem wheelying bikes with twist throttles.
jennifer thompson yes bikes not quads
Daaamn no lube?!?!?!
can i do this to A 2019 raptor 90 ?
Twist grip is okay with mx , but with the extra weight on the front end going downhill and off jumps I wouldn’t recommend it.
Nice clean hands . Cool video
Lol thanks my dude

Did you lower your raptor?
No its just the street legal tires
Nope its +5 inches wider than stock which sort of makes it appear lower and yes I do have street tries which effectively lowers the quad an inch lower because of the smaller tire size
MotoPosh 5 inches wider? And what year is that?
Yeah haha I have + 2.5 inch spacers on each side, its a 2014. I really dislike how narrow the quad is stock, its top heavy and tips fairly easy around corners. The spacers help a ton
Totally forgot to lube the cable and set the free play.
3:29 earphones alert!
Huh
Hey whats up
What's up dude! I remember you commented on a video I posted a longgg time ago
MotoPosh im glad u remembered i love the vids
Thumb throttle is nicer. Fart
Fart
Terrible idea putting a twist throttle on a quad. You'll pay for it I promise
Lol? How so? I've had it installed for 8 months and like it a lot
@@Motoposh explain how it's better than thumb and what it's benefits are
The benefit is it's more comfortable to ride with, especially on the street. Its rider preference. I haven't "paid" anything for switching
@@Motoposh well in my opinion it's not a good idea that's all I'm saying. If you ride on the street that's a different story but for off road I can't see how it's better
They make these things called dirt bikes which use this thing called a twist throttle idk if this is foreign language to you but its true and they go off road too wow
go back to dirt bikes if ur gonna ruin a raptor with a fkin pos twist throttle
