Message: [QUOTE="WR 250, post: 211159, member: 17697"] Back in Jr. High I rode a classmate's clapped out YZ 100 that was equipped with a thumb throttle. It was very weird. I ended up dumping it in a turn partially because of the throttle and partially because I was inexperienced at riding dirt bikes. I once read the reason a twist throttle works so well on a bike is because you are almost always in a balanced state when you lean a motorcycle to turn. Becuase of this you don't need to jerk the bars from side to side like you would on a ****. For that reason twist throttles often don't work very well on ****s and snowmachines because you have to use the bars as something to hang off of when inputing body english to turn at high speed.
