Why is my motorcycle throttle not working?
If the throttle does not completely return the cable may be binding, incorrectly routed, frayed, or corroded, which warrants further investigation. With the bike OFF, twist the trottle open to the stop and let go. Make sure the throttle returns to the closed position quickly and easily.
What should a motorcyclist do if the throttle is stuck?
When the motorcycle throttle sticks to acceleration mode, pull on the clutch, shift to neutral, and turn off the motorcycle. Do not turn on the motorcycle until the issue is resolved. If the throttle sticks to the closed position, turn off the motorcycle and inspect and clean the throttle and the throttle cable.
Is there a problem with the throttle control on a Harley?
Yes, We have come across this problem a few times and that seems to be the fix. Other times, however, guys make a mess of their harness when attempting to install a set of handlebars and the Harley throttle control. That can also cause that problem.
What causes the throttle to not return to closed properly?
A throttle tube that has dirt and things of that nature trapped between the throttle tube and handlebar will cause a throttle to not return to closed properly when it’s time to let off, so it is a good idea to frequently remove the throttle tube from the handlebars, and clean this area.
Can a throttle return spring be worn out?
Sacked out throttle return springs are not very common as just mentioned but can happen, after all, anything is possible. If your throttle return spring were worn out, your throttle would likely have varying rates of closing with being most responsive after letting off from wide open.
Why is my throttle control on permanent limp mode?
Let the silicon dry before reconnecting the connector to the TPS, this prevents the silicon from POSSIBLY running to the pin, preventing pin to pin contact. (Silicon on the TPS pins is a very bad thing = permanent limp mode until you remove all silicon from the pins and TPS plug.)
