Totally sold on finger throttle. so much easier on the wrist. In general a huge improvement, started to become instinct to grab for the throttle there by the end of today. I'll update with pics and video soon.
Throttle change... Finger Throttle??

Finger Throttle
Has anyone tried rotating the thumb throttle 180 to use your index finger for throttle? I've got a bit of carpel tunnel in my right hand and I thought this might lead to less fatigue.

had a friend brake his hand , had to turn the flipper 180 deg. so that he could ride using his fingers, works fine for trail riding but if you got to stand, very hard to hang on and control.
A few of my friends have had the throttle flipper on the bottom of the bar (pointed down)... and love it... standing up... it is a finger throttle... sitting down... thumb throttle...or vice versa in tricky situations.

pro finger throttle
any body make or know of someone that makes a fingerthrottle to fit a 13 pro. i have mine turned foward now and like it but would want something with a trigger like a waverunner type instead of a big flipper. let me know

For the stand up and ride forward that the Pro has a twist might not be such a bad idea for some .
The twist throttle can freeze up but not where you would think on heavy over the hood snow days , at least for my ride . The times it has froze up on me was over night and down where it hooks up to the slides , a long screw driver pops it without abusing the cable by pulling on the twist .
I also have it on a 700 sport quad but some seem to have a problem with it because they panic and forget to back off while holding on . Something that might be more important to think about .

Just roll the thumb throttle 180. Ive been doing it for 10 years on all my sleds. Never a problem. Its my preference. Just loosen the block off, and be ginger with the wires under there.
Stand up. Throttle in front = Bad problems in the trees.

My brake has always been in front of the bars and, I have never been thrown off because it hit a tree and stopped. I can't imagine it would be any different with a throttle...

I have been riding with finger pull for 15 years and love it. Mod sled has 3 44mil carbs way easier to pull with fingers than push with thumb. my 09 rmk was finger pull as well
