G, look up from underneath, there should be a allen screw under there..(I know the dragons did..have never looked on my pro...)
Interesting.
Btw, has anyone ever noticed Dan Treadway rides with a PULL throttle. He rotated the flipper all the way around. I was thinking of trying it, I like the idea of gripping both sides of the bar with my thumb wrapped around. Guess I wont be trying it though, last thing I need is electrical demons.

The picture of Dan's setup is interesting although it really doesn't look to be the best idea to me.
I ride trees a lot and that doesn't look to be a tree friendly throttle lever position. I have enough troubles with my brake lever hitting branches. Brought me to a stop last time out.
With the throttle block turned around and while riding the throttle lever pivot point/pinch point area has a greater chance of building up with snow and ice and then not allowing the throttle to fully return to idle. Not to mention my luck it would be a tree branch or brush that would get stuck in there preventing the throttle from returning to idle.
Also it looks like there's a chance that if the sled was laid over on the right side that the throttle might get stuck open in other than an idle position.
I could see where this may be an advantage if the rider has any issues with their right thumb.
I'm guessing one may feel they have better control on the bars.
Again it doesn't look like the best option to me but maybe Dan or someone that rides with him will chime in and give us his prospective on the why's and how's this works for him.

This is correct. Center bottom. 3/16" all wrench to adjust.
Good points, never thought of any of that. If you watch Slednecks 14 you can actually see him pulling it with his finger in some of the helmet cam scenes. If I still had my XP I'd be trying it. It used to give me arm pump in low snow conditions since it required a lot of extra effort to tree ride with it, plus the much harder throttle pull of the carbed 800r.
