Default Throttle

" while the other cable "CAN" close the throttle, should the return spring not work!...?? Did you try to close it manually or just let go of control of the throttle and say... OH Shit,.(Painic). she's not slowing down!?? LOL which happens More then anyone will admit to."

We are just now checking things out.
The throttle is still just not right, hard to turn and hard to return.
When my oh'sh*t flaps went up the throttle hit a stop while I was trying to make it return to off. At that point I started applying brakes and it wanted to keep going so starts my slide down memory lane.
We will do full diagnostics and see what it was, maybe a cable end caught something in the housing, I just dont know yet.

My local cop was cool about it I was not impeading traffi(already moved bike)
He gave us lights just to load and we we out of there.

Hind sight is 20/20 yea there is a kill switch just right there but in that split second all I wanted was the brakes.
The crash was mine and I own it, I rode the RC all the way to the ground.

Hey, what doesnt kill us makes us stronger.
I will be back on it asap, just need a couple of days to get parts changed and bike teched.
