For most 7/8 in (22 mm) mini bike bars, the HIAORS 7/8 in twist throttle kit is the throttle we would buy: grips, a twist throttle, a 50 in cable with a 45 in outer conduit, an on/off kill switch and a housing clamp, listed for the Coleman CT200U, CT100U, BT200X and Baja MB165/MB200 (per the Amazon listing). For a sturdier housing, the JXPANG die-cast throttle carries a 2-year warranty.

Coleman's CT200U owner's manual says to check before every ride that the throttle grip snaps back to idle when released, operates freely and has the correct free play. Picks were compared on bar size, cable length, kill switch and warranty.

Choosing a mini bike throttle

Bar size

Nearly all mini bikes and pit bikes here use 7/8 in (22 mm) bars. Measure yours with calipers before ordering.

Cable length

Measure the old cable end to end and its outer conduit. HIAORS lists a 50 in cable with a 45 in conduit; JXPANG lists 950 mm. A cable that is too short pulls the throttle open when you turn the bars, which is dangerous.

Kill switch

Coleman's pre-ride list checks that the engine stop switch shuts the engine off. If yours is broken, a kit with a switch (HIAORS) replaces both.

Installing and checking

Route the cable with no sharp bends, set the free play the engine maker specifies and confirm the grip snaps back to idle with the bars turned full left and full right. Coleman's manual lists throttle cable adjustment and a check of the throttle at every use; see the maintenance schedule.

What to skip

Skip any throttle that sticks or does not return on its own, and do not ride until it does. Other Coleman repair parts are in Coleman mini bike parts; carb and exhaust upgrades that change throttle response are there too. For the bike itself, see the best mini bikes.

Frequently asked questions

What size throttle fits a mini bike?

Most mini bikes use 7/8 in (22 mm) handlebars. HIAORS, JXPANG and Aniro all list 7/8 in throttles for Coleman CT200U and BT200X bikes.

How long is a mini bike throttle cable?

HIAORS lists 50 in with a 45 in outer conduit; JXPANG lists 950 mm. Measure your old cable before ordering.

Why does my mini bike throttle stick?

Common causes are a kinked or dry cable, a cable routed too tight, or a damaged housing. Coleman says to check that the grip snaps back to idle before each ride; replace the cable or throttle if it does not.

Does a mini bike throttle kit include a kill switch?

Some do: both HIAORS kits include an on/off kill switch. The JXPANG and Aniro throttles do not.

How should a mini bike throttle feel?

It should turn freely, have the correct free play and snap back to idle when released, per Coleman's pre-ride checklist.
