Somehow I managed to break the thumb throttle off and upon checking, it is only available as an assembly with the locking differential switch for $250.00! After taking the cover off there is a phillips screw that runs through the plate that the throttle cable hooks to that screws into the thumb throttle so it looks replaceable by itself. Anybody run into this and find an aftermarket one that works?

Hi Deldago,

I have converted all my CFMOTO thumb throttle Assemblies on X8's to Moose Utility combined Twist/Thumb Throttle assemblies.

Much more reliable, robust, easier to use and provides twist or thumb throttle.

I had to manufacture a bracket to attach the 4WD switch assembly to the Moose Utility combined Twist/Thumb Throttle, a bit of a challenge but it kept me occupied for a while.
