Crnr2Crnr Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Buddy bought an immaculate 21 Renegade Enduro 900R (with 900 miles on it) and today was his first ride on it. He loves the power, but HATES the throttle action/reaction especially in the woods. Tips, pointers, any aftermarket products to make it 'normal'? He's pretty chafed about it.

Frostynuts Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Did he not take it for a demo ride BEFORE he bought it ? Sounds like he must be one of the triple vaxxed, and brain is turning to mush. WTF is wrong with some people ? Was his name Ben, by any chance ?

CFM Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Many threads found on thus subject in that skidoo forum. Many hate the throttle too. Guess BRP changed the throttle set up somewhat for the 22’s. Some said Precision and sone other company i forget off hand, make tunes to for some if this. So, if noone responds here real world hands on info, do a google. Tons of threads. Itc i believe is their throttle by wire name calling ?

A demo may or may not reveal something like that, and this year beggars can’t be choosers. The guy is lucky to get a sled at all. I rode a MXZ 600r demo before the covid chaos and didn’t like the throttle on that, either. From a dead stop and trying to go slow was almost impossible. If you get up above maybe 15-20 mph, then it was a wonderful engine. But, below that, it was “angry”. That was my very first experience on a Doo, and wasn’t prepared for that. When I brought it back and mentioned the throttle sensitivity to the sales rep, he nodded and said most people riding a Doo for the first time have the same observation. The trail I used for the demo was beat up pretty bad and I had to go slow in spots. That’s the only reason I noticed. I’m interested in a solution, because I liked the Doo overall and would consider it in the future if it wasn’t for the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnts4me Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 ^^^^^ To be honest, IMO, it's a love/hate type thing. I have a 16 1200 with the ITC throttle and love it, BUT i'm also use to it. I do think the sports mode is a bit twitchy in the tight trails and usual run in the normal mode, but for not so tight or long runs it's in sports mode. My son has a 2S and can tell the difference but it use to the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Precision has tunes, he doesn't need or want more power... just a normal throttle On 12/30/2021 at 8:33 AM, p51mstg said: A demo may or may not reveal something like that, and this year beggars can’t be choosers.

I'm just trying to help him sort it out, he likes the sled a lot other than this foible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted January 2, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted January 2, 2022 Bud has a 20 with TD tune I didn’t notice any throttle reaction issues when I rode it last winter. Supposedly TD tunes makes throttle response a lot better but I never rode it in stock form to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I guess I was one of the few that actually liked the throttle. The different power modes may be part of it, in sport mode its pretty jumpy on tighter trails. My new turbo has the new old style....I'll adapt.
