turbofurball Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm really surprised it's not more ergonomic ... like, even on a farm quad or something it doesn't look comfortable to use! The road bike I use for commuting at the moment has a sticky indicator switch and when I'm turning left I have to keep pressure on it (often while doing the clutch at the same time), and by the time I get to work my hands killing me if I don't Spanish it up a bit* - and that's closer to my thumb than this looks. *not use the indicators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyc21 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Glad you figured out how to get it setup and got a chance to give it a go. Thank for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Can the position of the throttle be adjusted ? If looks to be about 90° out for comfortable use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If looks to be about 90° out for comfortable use. Yes but only on 90 degree increment and the next position would make comfortable to start throttle but impossible to go full throttle. It's really a shame that we don't have one specifically designed for trials. It would definitely work well and become a matter of preference. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshock250 Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Good effort for making it & trying it out, but like I said before you need your thumb on the bars for grip, not operating a switch. Do post another video if you make a modified version👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PakJeem Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 I’m glad you followed through. Keep experimenting and show us some demo riding with it when you get the chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arw Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 We swapped our quad throttle to a trials bike twist throttle as it was easier to use on the road and in the field. It was hard to maintain a set revs on a thumb throttle I ended up having to swap it back as it was dangerous for the lads who work for us not being used to a twist throttle. I never thought of putting the thumb throttle on my sherco! my wife thinks she wants one on her gas gas but I explained that she needs her thumb to grip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
