[QUOTE="jaster, post: 153337, member: 1935"] I just returned from a five day trip to Arkansas on my 06' AE. While on a spirited run down 341 I got a surprise. I was braking for a posted 30MPH corner and found that I wasn't slowing for the corner. :dribble: The throttle was stuck open. I then found out how the ABS system worked. I was able to get it shut down in time but it was a close call. I had taken the advise about the stiff throttle and popped the center spring off of its pin. The spring was loose. Back at the motel I found that the spring had gotten bound up, enough so that it held it open. I was unable to re-install the spring, so I tightened up the push-pull cable assembly so that I could force the throttle off if needed. This worked well enough to get me home, though it still wanted to stick occasionally. The spring is going back on as it was designed. A sticking throttle is especially fun on a bike with no clutch lever. :rolleyes: I just wanted to warn everyone to the potential danger of unhooking this spring. I will learn to live with a stiffer throttle. [/QUOTE]
