First ride on rmk.. need goldfinger now

[Colbymh]

Welp got my first break in ride on the pro rmk. Wow is mostly what comes to mind. Throttle response/power is insane.

I also rode my buddies 18 doo 850 and I thought it lacked in comparison.

What I do need is a goldfinger left hand throttle add on. Any other options out there?

What’s the reason for wanting a left hand throttle?

 

[Colbymh]

Just the add on to have both. For The left hand off camber turns and left side, side hilling. I found it difficult to toss it over on the left side while reaching for throttle on right in described situations. Maybe if my arms were 1/2 foot longer. Lol

 

[Colbymh]

Or I just need to get better.

I'd recommend riding it few more times first. You'll get more conferrable on it. Nice looking ride

 

[Colbymh]

Thnx man. Ya I will. I may need to click a few turns soft on suspension. Maybe to stif.

The left hand throttle definitely won’t help your riding abilities.

Dump the whole sled on it’s side with a blip of throttle/ countersteer and body English.
Keeping it there is a dance of those same 3 ingredients.


That right thumb is the only appendage that should control rpm.

when sidehilling on either side you should have your normal riding handle bar grip so throttle reach should not be a problem.

Left hand throttles are the most dangerous thing out there. I can't believe you guys talked him out of it that quick. Ten years ago I couldn't convince anyone about that or a mountain bar.

Yeah, mentioning a Goldfinger on this forum is like saying you need a 10" riser and a taller mountain grab bar to roll the sled over easier. Learn to ride without. Your sled, the trees, and your insurance company will thank you.

the first believable review.

Believable it is!

Finally . . . .snowmobiler is a convert to the BEST mountain sled!

Left hand throttle is dangerous had a buddy spend 3 weeks in Bozeman hospital because a stuck throttle. Sled hit him and finally hit a tree.

 

[Murph]

Just say no to the left hand throttle.

 

[goridedoo]

Trying to figure out if this is a serious post or no LOL

 

[Colbymh]

Okay so im talked out of it.. lol

 

[Colbymh]

I had a big moment of frustration tho when going down a steep hill and had to make hard left to get out. Weight was on right side, couldnt get it rolled over to the left, and i was reaching for throttle while trying to get it leaned over to left. So it was just a thought that damn I could use a left throttle right now.

Colby - try loosening up your front track shock pre-load about 3-4 turns - a little extra transfer when you first start on this chassis will help you get the feel for the sled. You will know if you have it too loose, it will push in the corners (on the trail). Also, too loose and it will trench a bit more. Be sure to raise the skid up or put the sled on its side before trying to adjust it.

^ you have that backwards. You would need to tighten the FTS to accomplish those things

Friends don't let friends ride with left handed throttles....
