Hello I ordered the Hand Throttle for my 900, it should be here tomorrow (Friday) is there any secrets to this or fairly easy to do, are there any Video's on the Install?? Remember I'm OLD.
And STIFF in All the WRONG Places!!!!
Thanks

Here's a few threads on it.

It's been years but as I recall, it was easy. Directions provided are simple and straightforward.
It's normally about a 10-20 minute job.
 
Won't take any trips to hardware stores.
Number of trips to the liquor store should be limited to one and that's before you start. (Don't drink and drive) ;)
I too have spent a couple hours doing little things like this. Takes longer to clean up the beer cans at the end than the actual project. :)

What's the part number of the kit you ordered?

I'm showing P/N K7561-45312 as the U42000 Hand Throttle Kit (Option) for my RTV900R6 (2006-2009). $140 plus shipping - Ouch!
 
I don't recall as it was probably 12+ years ago.
Was there a part # in any of the threads I referenced in the previous post?

So one is listed under "Options" (for the part number I showed) and $140. The other posted by ko is listed as an "Accessory" is $73. I'm getting all this from the Messick's site.

There is no picture shown for the -45312 but there is for the -99450, so you can't even look at the parts to see if there is a difference.
 
I was gonna install my fuel pump and rear end shackles today, but it's under 45 or so (yes, that is a positive number), too freaking cold. I'll wait until +50 or so.

Yep you guessed it: I've never lived in Siberia nor it's USA counterparts.
 
Messick's parts desk was always polite when I called and had questions. Maybe those guys are still there ?
The guy in Sales I talked too Was VERY Nice and Helpful, we ended up just shooting the Breeze for a few after the transaction. Talked about Ammo shortages, NOT THAT I Have any Need for Ammo, I'm SCARED OF GUNS!!! Don't even know of any in this part of the country!!
 
Installed the Hand Throttle today, it took about 2 hrs and Most of that was trying to get that Damn Bracket behind the throttle cable already there! Other than that it was eazy and works like its supposed too. In the Shop that is, redoing all my Light Sw's for the LED's to the Dash, I've Been Doing Way Too Much for a Broke Down Old Man. With the LED's, Badlands Winch now the Hand Throttle! But gets me out of the House some, My Wife has MS and I have to stay Very Close to the House, But have an Alarm in my shop that she can activate if she needs me so I Piddle a little when she's doing Fair!!
