ok, bike with 3000 miles, and apparently never any reason to believe anyone messed with the cables , throttle, or any such mechanical parts... all this conjecture is really just that...
my guess is while moving it around, you pushed the throttle side grip enough that it is in contact with the right hand grip pod, and simply rubbing against it... look closely.... ive done this a bazillion times... and know right off to look at the grip, and make sure its not rubbing....this seems stupid to say, but even more stupid to blame a manufacturer for something induced by an owner who is unaware of something simple... if you didn't mess with anything mechanical that is in the throttle from grip to t bodies, I'm betting the grip is rubbing on the pod...
why do people make something soo simple into something mechanical, when an owner has so few miles on a bike, and has never messed with anything?
it just baffles me.
oh, by the way, you are the first person to report a throttle hang since the c14 came out... just saying... as I keep good records of these issues.
sooooo let us know what you find, please.
