Have 8 hrs on a 17 350 and have felt like the length of twist it takes from shutoff to wfo is quite far. I have put the quick pull throttle in that comes with bike too. I am coming from ankx250f with quick pull cam on em if grips but still.
I feel like to go wide open I have to bend wrist very far and even drop elbow.

Anyone else experience this?

There aftermarket kits for this as well. Blake Baggett and others have used them after wrist injuries. Do a goole search.

Another suggestion is to over grip the throttle more. I do this on my 450 when i want to gain another 10hp

Was more curious if any other husky owners experience this.

New ODI grips come with a couple different cams. I'm running the stock cam but find myself wishing that the pull were a bit firmer. The pull has very little spring resistance against it.

So, I measured the pull of both cams that come with 2017 husky. The grey cam is a 1/4 turn. The black cam is a 3/16 turn. The problem you may have is your initial grip of the throttle, because any less of a turn is going to make it very hard to control the power output.
I run the black cam and turn it no problem with my badly injured wrist; which has, at the moment, 65% of normal motion.
My fast friends with 450s run the grey cam in order to better control the power thru corners.

I totally agree. I wish the throttle pull was a little stiffer. Anyone come up with a reliable way of adding a spring or know of a stiffer spring for the throttle pull?

I started a thread a while back about that topic and got no real answers other than "get used to it."

Thanks. This is what I'm looking for , still feel like it's more to turn than the odi cam I have on my kxf.

I'm surprised by that. My kxf pull is stiff and I really don't like it when jumping back and forth on bikes .

The only time it bothers me is in a rough braking section. Even though I've got slack in the cable, it still causes me to blip the throttle on occasion when I don't want it to.

Makes a big difference also how you adjust the throttle, and what map you are running together with gearing. So multiple ways of using a smaller amount of twist to get the same effect from engine.
