is there an aftermarket or other model thumb throttles that will fit on a 03 eton 90? My boys little tiny thumb just can't take it. The stock one seems very stiff. I've lubed it and re-located the cable a few times to no avail. Thanks for any info. Doug

Go with a single cable and get rid of the oil injection, you will have to pre-mix the gas though but it will be half as stiff.

Thats a good idea. We had one of these from Moose, he used to race his stock 50 with it and use the palm of his hand when his thumb got tired

yeah, the single cable will reduce it quite a bit. Another thing to try is to rotate the throttle up more towards the rider so he is pushing down more than forward on the throttle.

We run Xtreme thumb throttle. They have more area for the thumb and my son says they work much better. You can try to cut a coil off the throttle spring also that will help a ton.

Where can I find the Xtreme thumb throttle? My daughters have complained of a sore thumb aftet riding and I wasn't sure what to do about it.

You should be able to order one from any dealer www.xtrememotorco.com . They use the same throttle on there tantrum model quads. If you need more help just shoot me a pm. I have a dealer close by that can get them.
