00:00If your thumb is aching after every ride, or your throttle housing looks like it lost a fight with a
00:04tree, this one's for you.
00:06I've been digging through hundreds of listings to find the 5 best throttle and guard upgrades for Yamaha Raptors, and
00:12honestly, some of these prices surprised me.
00:15Let's get into it.
00:17Starting off with the Nysank Universal ATV Aluminum Thumb Throttle Assembly.
00:22This one's the premium pick of the bunch, and you can feel it.
00:26It's full CNC machined aluminum, so instead of that flexi-plastic factory housing, you get something solid that actually holds
00:33up when you go down.
00:34It fits the Raptor 700, 700R, 660R, YFZ450R, Banshee, Blaster, pretty much the whole Yamaha lineup.
00:43At 4,274 it's the most expensive on this list, but with over 4,700 sold and a 4.7
00:50rating, people clearly think it's worth it.
00:53If you ride hard and you're tired of replacing throttles, buy once, cry once.
00:58Next up, and this is the one I'd call the best value on the whole list, the CNC Thumb Throttle
01:03Gear Cap for the YFZ450 and Raptor 700.
01:07Look, the stock thumb paddle cap is a known weak point.
01:10It cracks, it wears down, and then your throttle feel goes to garbage.
01:15This little billet cap fixes that for $11.07.
01:1911 bucks
01:21It's got a perfect 5-star rating across more than 4,500 orders, and it covers model years 2009 all
01:28the way to 2024.
01:30Cheapest insurance you'll ever buy for your right hand.
01:33Third, we've got a very similar option, the CNC Thumb Throttle Gear Cap Cover and Guard from a different seller,
01:39at $11.36.
01:42Basically the same idea, a machined aluminum cover that protects the throttle gear and gives your thumb a grippier, more
01:48consistent surface to push against.
01:50It's rated 4.6 with over 4,400 sold.
01:55Why would you grab this one instead?
01:58Honestly, availability and color options.
02:01If the previous one's out of stock in your color, this is a straight swap but basically the same money.
02:07Nice to have a backup.
02:09Coming in at number 4, the 7.8-inch, 22mm thumb throttle assembly for the Raptor 350, 600, 60, and
02:17700.
02:18This is a complete replacement assembly, not just a cap, for $12.82, which is kind of wild.
02:25It also fits the YFM 250, 350, and 600, so if you've got an older Yamaha sitting in the garage,
02:31this brings it back to life.
02:33Perfect 5-star rating, 4,200 plus sold.
02:37If your throttle is sticky, sloppy, or the return spring's given up, this is the easy fix that takes about
02:4315 minutes.
02:45And rounding out the list at number 5, another 7.8-inch thumb throttle assembly at $13.22.
02:52What makes this one stand out is the fitment range, it covers the Raptor 350, 600, 60, 700, plus the
02:58Big Bear 250 and 350 and the Bear Tracker 250.
03:02So if you've got a utility quad or an older workhorse alongside your Raptor, this is the one that'll fit
03:08both.
03:095 stars, over 4,000 sold.
03:12Grab a spare and toss it in your trail bag, for 13 bucks, you'll be the hero when someone's throttle
03:17dies out on the ride.
03:19All 5 links are down in the description, and prices do move around, so check them before you order.
