Was kinda interested in trying out the finger throttle. Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with it/what they thought of it.
Munsters finger throttle

I think they are super dangerous for novice riders. Should never put a beginner on your sled if you have one of these.

They are one of the best built aftermarket part you'll find. They also have a guard for it if you ride a lot of trees and are worried about catching it on a tree. If you don't like it as a finger throttle you can rotate it around to a thumb throttle.
Watch your throttle cable.
They will fray and break.
Super awkward to ride with. (Only one hand position available)
Sold mine after a bit.
I have one on my 2015 RMK 800 LE and do like it. However, like mentioned, watch your throttle cable, mine frayed and broke too. Right at the end of the cable where it connects to the finger throttle lever. And the thumb warmer element quit working as well.

Would never go back to a thumb throttle. Feel handicapped on a thumb throttle now.
As for the cable, get the throttle guard Munster sells and it protects your fingers and the cable really nice. I have Skidoo handguards as well for snow deflection/tree branches and that also helps a lot.

just flipped around the 20th or so stock throttle I've done... takes about 3 minutes, no fraying issues, and if yer a wanker that can't handle finger throttles (THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE!) you can swap it back out in the field in a couple minutes.
I do cut my stockers down with a dremel a bit so that they eliminate that annoying sharp end, I round it off and shorten them.
Super easy.

Love mine.. I have arthritis in my thumb, without it I wouldn't be able to ride much anymore. Don't cheap out, absolutely get the guard. Only complaint the warmer could use some help... His ad claims the XM and the G4 units are incompatible, not sure why??
My dad has a finger throttle on his. Last year I was riding his sled while waiting for my 850 and I liked it only problem I had was jumping with it. I found that the throttle would get pinned cause I was used to the thumb before and I would always land with the skis up a lot.

The wiring is different for the heater.. could always cut and solder but I think the G4 sleds put out more wattage to the heater element and can burn it up.
That's interesting, jumping is one of the biggest things I like about finger throttles, way more control.

Have it on a 15 Pro. Great product but also had to replace throttle cable after 1200 miles.

Is it just the poo guys changing cables? Does poo have a swivel head on the end of the cable like doo?
