Stuck rev's

Post by Leeboy »

On the way into work today,halfway here i eased off the power coming to a set of lights the engine revs stayed where they were. I had to twist the throttle back forcefully for it to calm down. As soon as i started again first gear kicked in and it settled down,but as i went through the gears and eased off, the rev's don't come down. Any clues please........gotta get back from work yet.

Made it back ok and took the bike into the shop. Mechanic says the two cables coming out of the bottom of the throttle assembley should have some play in them.......but not as much as mine had..fixed in a jiffy and away we go again!!!
