[QUOTE="jaster, post: 153649, member: 1935"] My apoligies to the administrator for not starting this post in the technical section. I considered it a safety issue first. The spring was completely unwound, I found it doubled over itself and out of position. You know it was kinda nice on the 600 mile ride home to be able to rest the throttle hand without stopping. Sort of a free throttle lock. I knew there was a silver lining in there somewhere. :glare: This whole episode lasted less than a couple seconds. It took a split second to realize the bike wasn't slowing enough to negotiate the corner. For all my years of riding, I knew better, but the panic response kicked in and I grabbed more front brake. I beleive the ABS kept me from locking the front end and laying it down. For the remainder of my ride you can bet that I knew where the kill switch was! [/QUOTE]
