Broken after the first use

Bought this product a few months ago, the first time the throttle broke off. Thinking it was a marriage I ordered a second one which broke after 5 minutes. This product is made of plastic and is too weak to press the throttle with your thumb and will break after minor use.

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Some problems

No more sore thumbs from throttle bodies

Before installing this throttle body, my thumb used to hurt a lot when using the stock throttle body on my ATV. I can drive all day without pain. The hardest part of installing this choke is removing the old glued handle. Once removed, this choke is easy to install.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not bad

Not bad with modifications

No problems so far. I had to make some adjustments to make sure they didn't slip off. The product fits snugly to the body and can be easily removed after some exposure to the sun. I added a cotter pin to keep them in place. I drilled a small 1/8 hole in the handlebars, added a cotter pin and it holds perfectly.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Protection

Makes the clutch very thick but helped heal a sore thumb

Had to replace the steering wheel with a Polaris Outlaw 50 x 7/8 to install it. Helped teens with sore thumbs but the grip is very very thick, much thicker than 7/8 grips making it difficult for teens to grip all the reason quads originally had small diameter handlebars. It would be nice to have a thinner design.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • New competitors

Good product! A great way to get rid of finger pain!

I can't write about this product! This was suggested to me on my ATV owners FB pages and I'm so glad they suggested it! I have an injured thumb so using my thumb for more than 10 seconds caused too much pain. This product works in seconds (watch the video and use the air compressor) and works like a charm! It won't take long to get used to. It's so comfortable and I can't ride without it!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

Wife loved it so much she wanted it too

After rolling and chipping the throttle on 'my' quad and not wanting to pay the high price for a factory replacement part for the entire throttle assembly, I just bought one simple twist throttle kit and he earns in no time. My wife liked it so much that she wanted it too. But since she didn't have a broken one like mine, I put a handy throttle on her and got the same effect, only she can still use the throttle when she's more comfortable in more challenging terrain. I think you have more…

MEASURE your wheel! does not fit 2019 Polaris Sportsman 570

Could not install on my 2019 Polaris Sportsman 570. I did not measure before ordering. My bars are .883", bars should be .875". I had to use the largest screwdriver to even come close to sliding the inner tube over the handlebars. I used a dremel tool to cut a bevel on the end of the inner tube to start it but it still doesn't work. Also, the part you twist to control the throttle was pinched when the inner tube wasn't over the handlebars. If you have a lathe you can remove it and remove some…

Pros
  • Controls
Cons
  • Security

Works perfectly. on controls

Based on other reviews I doubted we would be happy with the Handy throttle. However, the two little drivers in the family didn't like driving with the thumb throttle at all because their thumbs couldn't reach it. So I thought it was worth the chance. I wasn't even sure if it would fit the Suzuki KingQuad as it's parked an hour and a half away and I couldn't find any handlebar size information. It turns out to be 7/8 inch and the swivel adapter fits fine. The hardest part of the installation was
