This morning my bikes throttle was dong something weird. I have not rode the bike in a few weeks since coming back from Moab with it. It was warming up this morning and when I went to give it throttle I had a lot of slack in what seemed to be the cable. I mean a lot of slack. I twisted the throttle a few time and it suddenly went back to normal. I was running a little late for work so I decided to ride on and look into it later today. Well first stop I come to the slack is back, I twist it a few times and back to normal. Bike is running fine, no weird idle or problem with throttle returning to close on it's on. I get to work and kill it then try to get it to do it again and it wouldn't do it. Seems this is only happening with it running. Anyone had anything remotely close to this issue happening with your throttle.
I got to thinking later this morning isn't this a fly by wire system somehow? I have never looked into how this works. I have never really looked at the throttle bodies closely either since I have never had any issues with them to date. I have sync'd the TBs a few times over the 38k mile life of the bike. They were cleaned at the 25k valve service interval by the shop who did the valve lash service. I do ride it off road quite a bit and just returned from Moab where I did some dusty off road. No issues until this morning and not even sure that is related. I do have the OEM heated grips with the stupid first generation disaster cable mess in the throttle housing but I do not think that is the issue on this just throwing that out there.
I am kind of thinking it is something down new the throttle bodies causing this but like I said I have never paid them much attention so do not fully remember their mechanics until I look into it later today when I lift the tank.
