First Gen 200x Alternative Thumb Throttle

[jb2wheels]

One of my 84 200x has a twist throttle. I prefer a thumb throttle. Anybody use a later model ATC or TRX thumb throttle on the first gen 200x? Any obstacles?

Just trying to avoid wasting $$ on the experiment.

Thanks!

I have a thumb throttle from an '86 for sale if it'll fit.

almost any throttle can work with minor mods

I'll make you a trade I have a trx thumb throttle and been wanting a twist to go on my 225 dx, we each pay shipping to the other, up to you let me know mine is used but in really good condition, and I'll send it with the cable

Hi Muthey - I missed your post - LMK if you're still interested and I'll grab some pictures. My twist throttle has a long cable.

FYI - I used the later model (TRX 250?) from Muthey with a stock 200x cable with no problems.

awesome I had to build a new cable from one of my other 225 dx cables for the twist throttle, took me about 2 hours but it works perfectly now, only issue was attaching the carb cap which is why I built a new cable, and also had to remove some of the cable insulation to allow for the twist thank goodness they made those cables a little longer than was needed. Was an awesome trade and glad you were able to connect right on to it with another cable was a little worried about that
