I am running a 2015 xm with a Munster finger throttle. Absolutely love it!! I will never go back to a thumb throttle. I have way more control over my sled since I can completely grab both sides of the handle bars rather than trying to grip the throttle side with just your fingers. My finger throttle is older and I cannot put the guard on it so I did end up smashing a tree and over extending my cable, wrecking my TPS sensor and having to tandem tow my machine out. I would highly recommend installing the guard for the finger throttle!!
My first sled i bought was a 2018 freeride and it had one on there, took a few rides to gwt used to but after that it i loved it, everyone who rode my sled liked it alot
Love my finger throttle. Guard is a must. There is a little bit of a learning curve. Takes about 1 day of riding to get the hang of it. Not the best for trail riding. Made tree riding and side hills easier even on your weak side. Finger will be sore until you build up the strength in it. Way better than putting on a gold finger.
I run one on my 19 Alpha. Feel like I can’t ride without it! I came off a Timbersled last season to my alpha after demoing one with a thumb throttle. I was on a Timbersled since I tore my UCL in my thumb sledding (bonfires gone wrong lol) and since then hadn’t had the strength to hang on and throttle with the thumb. My buddies all run the Munster finger throttle as well and won’t go back. I figured the only way I would be able to sled was with the finger throttle and it’s a game changer not only for my thumb retardedness factor, but just how much more control you feel when you need that grip. Again, last year on the Alpha was the first but it was an unreal upgrade for me!
Put one on my skidoo expert last year and love it!! And yes the guard is a must even if you already have hand guards. I find I can hang onto the bars better and still have good throttle control. It also seems to make it more natural to have a finger on the brake lever at all times now since I use both my index fingers for stop and go. I added the shorty adjustable brake lever from "tricked toys" and now the brake lever fits my short finger perfectly. Munster also makes a great kill switch. No more accidentally pushing the kill switch. Only thing I have found is that with the heated grips on, the handle bars will be plenty warm and the throttle barely warm enough. I've got to go to the dealer to get that adjusted since skidoo has the throttle and handlebar warmers on the same switch. Not a big deal....just saying.
We have one on a 2019 skidoo 900 ace for grooming single track and it's great once you get used to it and much better for throttle control and learning curve is fast and easy
Munster finger throttle is a must best upgrade! However get handguards, your cable will freeze up and stick wide open! Handguards take care of this, at least it did for me...
I drove with MUNSTER FINGER THROTTLE on my Hardcore 2016 and i love it, I will run it on my 2021 Khaos 165" this year. One of the best things I change on my machine and I had a lot of candy installed :) Full helium kit, MVM beltdrive, FOX QS3R, Skinz concept ShockBox A-arms & spindels skinz seat and much more :)
Needs to be angled downward or your wrist is gonna get tired and sore quick. Take the Allen key up when you go ride so you can adjust it to find your comfortable position.
I installed a munters finger throttle on my m8 turbo, it is not an easy install by any means. Its suppose to come with a more aggressive cam that get attached to the throttle body. It's not as simple as switching out the throttle. Be careful flicking the throttle mine developed a crack where the cable comes in.
Just got one to go one the 2021 hardcore and look forward to be seeing you goofballs back on the sleds making us some good vids to watch through the season, keep up the good work and nice move with the hat.
Gonna be interesting 🤔 quick question on my old 15 cat with the telescoping bars I would I always run them all the way up when riding I’m 6’1 and now I gotta new 2021 hardcore what size risers would you recommend I was thinking maybe a 6,7,8 inch riser just don’t know ?
I learned how up ride a sled with one since my second ride. Don't know what a regular throttle is like! Lucky me! Btw nice hat!!! Didn't even notice the tape until the end! So awesome
I have 51 years of snowmobiling experience over 40 years of mountain extreme mountain riding finger throttles not a good thing lost a few good friends due to finger throttles but I only have 51 years of snowmobiling experience so I don't suggest that they are a good thing sad day when you got to go to a funeral because their finger throttles
Care to elaborate? Seems like you're coming in here full of emotion but didn't bother explaining any sort of technical details on why or how they are dangerous. I'm thinking I need a dirtbike throttle myself, as I've spent over 15 years on them, and only a couple on a sled. I cuss the thumb throttle all day every day but laziness prevails so far.
Just put this on my Viper MTX. Can't wait to try it out once I figure out why it won't start after the throttle install lol
Great video thanks man!!!!!

You mentioned hand guards, it still works good with the doo flexible guards then? Enough room behind them to get it and the throttle guard to fit?
@@kalenpeters8658 yup. no problem.
@@jimhebert3490 Thanks!

Hey what's Mr. Chows thoughts on his new munster finger, is he in love or what? Need a good review on this thing guys.
I have one on my 19 polaris 850. Love it .took me 3 solid rides to get used to it. Don't give up on it after the first ride. The gard is a must
I got a Munster finger throttle on my 15 HCR. Love it. Went with the Munster kill switch and reverse switch as well
Got mine last year for my m8000. Absolutely love it!

Now that you aren't at Ralph's... are you offering sled repair maint out of your shop?
You betcha!

With the big court bs with ski doo and Arctic cat can you still buy used arctic cats just fine?
Check kijiji
Just bought a 2016 Polaris pro rmk that has a finger throttle on it never tried it out yet
Love the finger throttle. Way better grip on that side. Wouldn’t go without it.
Just got one to go one the 2021 hardcore and look forward to be seeing you goofballs back on the sleds making us some good vids to watch through the season, keep up the good work and nice move with the hat.

The new thing is running short risers now. A lot of people run them really low.
@@syxxes that’s what I though just wanted a second opinion!
I remember you guys had experience with it a few years back and hated it? Wasn't one on that cat that had the purple shiny wrap?
I learned how up ride a sled with one since my second ride. Don't know what a regular throttle is like! Lucky me! Btw nice hat!!! Didn't even notice the tape until the end! So awesome
Been thinking of doing this to my sled. Thinking using a thumb to grip the bars is a better grip. Does kit come with the guard?
The kit doesn't come with a guard, I think it's an extra $80cdn. It's worth the extra cash though.
I had it on my summit I loved it but my alpha I bought it haven’t installed it yet
Nice! I'm getting excited for snow, I just added new 450 and Timbersled to my winter toys!
Are you gonna be riding the 2014 again this winter?
Lucky I don’t get snow here till like November in NB
Bummer.. I got a trip planned on nov12 -15 , only 4 hour drive
Another Syxxes vid my withdrawals have settled.
Won’t ever go back to a thumb throttle. Give it 3 full days, by the 3rd day you’ll love it.
Did Shaun ever sell his Polaris?
I once knew a girl who liked the finger throttle.
lol I've been running my throttle upside down on my cat lol... i hate thumb throttle!
Don’t worry Ben! I’m sure you’ll finger it Out!!🥶
Lol its a jet ski now
