Bad ride out - Throttle woes
Posted: Fri May 03, 2013 7:52 pm
Took the bike out today, I just knew it wasn't going to go well after a van pulled out on me after the first 30 secs.
The first problem was that the bike started to cut out when pulling the clutch in at some lights. I noticed that the revs would drop below 1000, then slowly creep back up to just above 1000 where it should be. Overall it did this 3 times. But the whole dropping and creeping thing surely isn't right
But the fun part was when I just came off a roundabout, pinned the throttle and it just stuck at 7000 revs. After I switched everything off and twisted the throttle a few times it settled back down again.
I've had enough throttle woes in the last 3 months to last a lifetime. It's off to BMW in Hertford next week to see if the pros can sort it out.
