Shouldn't have to. What bars and throttle are you using. I used fast 50's billet throttle, and didn't need a new lever.

The OEM throttle for a 50 wont fit on any other type of handlebar, like bmx style or mx style bars. Billet throttles are smoother and stronger, and fit the regular size bars.

Sounds like you need a front brake lever. Fast 50's is the only throttle I have seen with a brake lever built into it, all other kits require a front brake lever.
