Have not seen this issue brought up, but here goes:
The excellent throttle response and clutching of my Vector and Warrior make small movements of the machines difficult. The two strokes don't have the torque at low RPM's to create the problem that our "lurchy" stallions exhibit. Anyone ever attempt to minimize this characteristic that is common to our fine steeds? It's more of a problem for my G/F as I have gotten kind of used to it. In parking lots, driveways, and other tight places she is kind of nervous that she is going to launch into some thing or some one. Any suggestions would be appreciated except for getting a new G/F. Had to mention that cause I think I could be opening my self up for a good lamb basting (sp) of sledders humor. Not that I don't like lamb.

This subject has been brought up in the past, and quite often when the 4 strokes were new on the market. I think getting used to it is the real answer. Before you know it, you'll have a hard time riding a 2 stroke when you have the chance as they seem to have zero throttle response after you've been off them for awhile! Hard to get them to move at all when you are trying to ride one like you are used to on a 4 stroke.
you could clutch it softer and turn it into a "show pony"

I noticed the same thing with my Rage last season. I've now gotten used to the 4 stroke characteristics and would not go back to a two stroke. As a matter of fact, I've ridden the Rage 6 times this year for a total of about 600 miles and have not opened the hood yet this season!

have her goose the throttle and keep doing it until the sled engages and she wont have to worry about really taking off b/c her thumb wont be on the throttle long enough to hit anyone. At least this is what I do and most of the time I only goose the throttle a few times then coast to where I have to go if its a short distance. Helps with turning in a restaurant parking lot etc.
