I just bought a 04 yfz 450, problem is it has a twist throttle. Man there is no way I can use this thing. How hard is it to change back to a thumb throttle? Do you have to replace the whole cable, or just remove the twist handle and install the thumb? This sux, I have this new toy and cant evan enjoy it.

thetwist throttle is a tube that goes over the bar loosen the 2 bolts on it and it will slide right off taking the grip with it. u just need a thumb throttle cable and new grips you done need to get new bars
