My throttle hangs up every now and then, especially when I inadvertantly tighten, (or forget to completely loosen) my Throttlemeister, LOL!
I've learned to check that first, and it has always been the culprit so far: a partially-engaged Throttlemeister causes the throttle to hang up every time.
I got the tank off and inspected all linkage and everything looks OK. Could a TPS cause this condition by chance?
the TPS on this bike is very passive, and really can't malfuntion in a manner to make it stick, and if there something up in there rubbing on the rod, as I noted you would see error messeges for certain, we have seen numerous instances of this on bikes where people removed the secondary flies, and just pressed a bit too hard on the screws, which deflected the rod minutely.... and they had error messages.
I'm with taking it into the dealer, its under warranty.

A lot of modern bikes, the C-14 included, have poor throttle feel and glide due to the handlebars being made of aluminum. I struggled with my own throttle tube dragging, sticking ("stiction") and generally behaving badly until I tried someone else' suggestion to wrap the handlebar with Teflon tape. I really thought the stuff was far too soft (Easy Boys!) to last but it has been on my bike for years and 10's of thousands of miles and still works great. [...]Even replacing the handlebar and throttle tube with new ones (not inexpensive) is not really a solution IMO for the reasons mentioned above.

Is this to much throttle play do you think?

This is from the owners manual: Throttle Grip Play, 2 ∼ 3 mm (0.08 ∼ 0.12 in.) That looks like possibly a little more, but mine resembles the video, and seems good to me. tp
Not what I wanted to hear. Dealer said it's not under warranty. GrrrrrrThe adjustment technique is in the owner's manual, it's simple and uses a just couple of wrenches or pliers.

Yeah, it really isn't all that difficult. And it seems like it is something that does need to be done about once every year or two. I imagine the cables probably stretch a tad with use.Stretching probably depends on how hard and often the throttle is twisted... tp

ok, somebody help me out here... I own an '08 what is with is that shroud that is sitting over the throttle housing where 2 screws should be visible...?
