Hey all, was at the test track this weekend and had a strange thing happen, a good buddy asked to try the rc and on his third lap he came easing into the pits, he said the throttle stuck wide open on him but he was quick reacting enough to clutch the bike and kill the engine. I suited up after giving it the once over and everything looked good, took it out and just before turn 1 the throttle stuck wide open. I was ready for it, killed the engine, came to a stop, went back to neutral, fired it up and it was stuck wide open. I tried the usual, handlebars left full right full, banged on the throttle tube and nothing. Shut it off, turned it back on and it wasn't stuck. Rode a lap back to the pits. From there we tore it down, checked all cable routing, springs, even air box to see if anything got lodged. Everything looked great, rode it the rest of the weekend with no grief at all. Anybody else have this happen or an idea what to look at? I'm going to take it into the dealer Tues just to get it on record that this happened. Really have no clue what caused or why?
