Buy a ThrottleMax . I took the one off my Pioneer 500 and it fits and works perfectly . Stops the bouncy throttle problem 75% .

Are you still happy with the ThottleMax from you 500 on your Talon? Working ok?
That Talon is TOUCHY

Fits the Talon? Jeez I've been waiting months for them to launch one for the Talon. I'll just go buy the one for the p500!
Thanks for telling us!!!

throttlemax helps but while owners dont want to hear it other than 'you'll get use to it" ' the throttle bounce'
but I custom made a bracket & tied a Saint 10 spd mountain bike derrailur adjustment that effectivly increases rpms by 500-700 rpm per click & mounted on the shifter
works & at no point hinders full throttle applications

I adjusted the slack out of the throttle cable and it seamed to help. I also have just learned where to put my foot so it does not bother me.

I’m interested in more information about this.
is it setup as a low speed cruise control?

Thats what I did. Helps a bit. Not a perfect fit, but works. I beat it on w/ a deadblow mallet, and drilled a hole through the top-right corner of the pedal face and throttlemax. put a stainless allen panhead in it with a nylock nut. Can keep your right-foot flat on the floor and still apply throttle. helps a lot in the chop, and crawling through tight trails. I will say its like a 75% reduction in chop/bounce. still happens tho.... I am going to try tightening up the slack in throttle cable. Sounds like a good suggestion to me.

^^THIS!!!! More information on the spring/setup you used please!!! I started looking without much luck. I think this is the major ticket.
Plz on some pics too if you added an additional spring in conjunction with the stock one.

I don’t think it is anything like the P1k, TBH. I ride with a couple buddies who have pioneers. They can blip the throttle on purpose, just to make some racket with their exhausts and it doesn’t snap anything like the Talon. The thing will break your neck. H or L, doesn’t matter. Maybe its a break-in thing, but 25HP difference seems to matter.

forum doesnt allow picture uploads ~ in summary I custom fab ed up a bracket to support the actuation & tied into upper mounting bolt for upper throttle assembly
setup the first couple clicks take out cable slack thus no rpm adjustment but third & fourth click are the ticket for rock crawling/trail speeds
at no point of 0 to 4 click adjustments does it hinder a knee locking throttle application in those situations requiring additional motivation
89% of ALL youtube utv fails are a DIRECT result of the driver stabbing the throttle not cognizant of contact patch / traction management implications. period.
the setup works to approx 3/8 throttle & at that point runs out of adjustment but dont have a need for 55mph 'cruise control'....
think Teraflex Jeep Wrangler Hand Throttle Cable Kit 4870402 (97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ)

We all upload photos regularly. There may be a timed restriction however for new members.
i added 2 springs to get to the 8 or 10 lbs whichever is better for you. i will try to up load pics later today. i bought the springs at lowes.

I went with a little simpler solution. I made piece out of 20 ga SS spring steel. About 7" X 2" with a cutout to clear the "trans tunnel". Attached it to the gas pedal with two screws at the groove on the pedal. Really took the bounce out of the action.

I rest my foot against the 'transmission' hump - the problem hasn't occurred for me and the ROCKY Mountains aren't noted for their smooth trails. Note that I learned to drive that way to keep from squirting the accelerator pump on carbed engines, hold yer foot still or get terrible mileage, so it's a natural extension of that lifelong habit. #oleguysrock

@jasond recently posted about a heel support in his thread and I decided to try one out. I've received and installed it but haven't had the chance to drive with it yet. I did make vroom vroom sounds trying it in the garage though.

EDIT - changed the steering wheel adapter/hub over to an Assault Industries adapter. The cheap eBay option worked, but developed some play and was driving me nuts. Changed my steering wheel out to a Chinese clone of an OMP steering wheel. For $58 bucks (they accepted my eBay offer after a bit...
