Throttle Control

Warning
Always be alert for changes in the
'feel' of the throttle control and have
the throttle system checked by an

changes are detected. Changes can be
due to wear in the mechanism, which
could lead to a sticking throttle
control.
A sticking or stuck throttle control will
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
