Although it would eventually.
Dirt bike throttle cable sticking.
Little else terrifies a rider on a dirt bike when that pin gets stuck.
It had a definite and annoying stick at the start.
The cables can bind under the tank or in the handgrip.
Additionally the throttle cable just through general wear and tear stretches breaks or thanks to the dirt build up gets sticky too.
Next ride the throttle kept sticking open when i was riding so i decided to replace the throttle cable since it was getting a little frayed.
Lube the throttle cable regularly which prevents it from getting.
Not only was the dirt bike throttle sticking it was not snapping back and it seemed like the throttle wouldn t return.
A few weeks ago i dropped my bike in a creek and sucked in quite a bit of water.
Inspect the throttle cable that it s routed properly and doesn t get pinched by the handlebars turning motion and not intertwined with the brake or clutch cables and electric start cable if applicable.
Bike is a ktm 2 stroke.
If the screws in the throttle housing are too tight it could cause the cable to stick.
A stretched throttle cable won t give your bike much life and obviously a broken cable doesn t work but a sticky cable or throttle tube can produce these kinds of results.
Or it can be caused by an issue with the carburetor or efi.
Pretty darn cool bike actually.
Drained it out and bike was good to go.
