    twist throttle for a 200X

    Who makes one for a 200X? I noticed that the twist throttle I put on my 125 will not work on the 200X because the front brake reservoir is in the way. It looks like it would have to be a reverse twist throttle for it to even work. A kit with the cable and everything would be even better.

    Motion Pro, they make the turbo twists for the 200x. I have one and it has been good so far.

    I've got a turbo twist throttle on my 125 and it doesn't have front brakes so it works just fine. I went to switch it over from my 125 to my 200x and it wasn't until I was starting to mount the twist throttle that I noticed the cable was going to be right in line with the brake fluid reservoir. I looked on Motion Pro's site and they show the exact same throttle as what I've got now for the 200x.


    I just had a thought. On a 200x does the twist throttle have to be clocked back about a quarter turn? That should put the cable where it needs to be. If thats how it has to be that will bug the crap out of me but I can probably live with it.

    Not one mine no. You dont have to keep it at any certain angle, just not upside down. Your might have to get a different throttle cable for it to go into the carb right and for it to fit and not be too short. But all of the turbos are the same. I have the problem with the res. too and I just keep it tilted back so the cable goes behind it. It will not affect the throttle at all, just how you twist it.

    I have an old TCI twist throttle I got off ebay for the 200x. Had to tilt it back a bit but that doesn't effect it. Here's a pic.
