Sometimes all you need is some forward thinking, a little tap and some pliers


When we originally stumbled across this video, we were intrigued at the notion of seeing a YFZ450 two stroke hybrid, but after seeing it we’re actually more impressed at the contraption he’s come up with to work the throttle despite a broken throttle cable. See for yourself. We wouldn’t race in Baja on it, but in a pinch this setup would certainly get you back to the pits.

ATV.com recommends that ATV riders wear a helmet and other protective gear while on the machine.
