Well, this will get your attention real quick. I was backing the bike up into the garage without the reverse engaged, thankfully. I turned the handlebars sharp to the right and my throttle cable popped down below my gas cap and when I straighten it up it pulled the cable and revved the throttle to about 1200 rpms. I straightened it out but it still idles way too high so I will trace it out tomorrow and see if it is still being pulled on somewhere. I have my handle bar stops set just enough out to keep from hitting my instrument cluster. Looks like I may need to adjust the bar up a tiny bit.
I have seen this happen on another 502 at the rally year before last and it was almost ugly. Same thing with the guy backing up. He put the bike in first , straightened out the wheel and when he did it surged forward. I'm not certain if his cable did like mine but something caught the cable. He stopped about 2 feet from slamming into the side of a tractor trailer parked on the other side of the street.
I am loving this early spring like weather we're having right now. We are topping 70 everyday and are supposed to until Thrusday or so. I sure hope to log some miles on my days off Wednesday and Thursday. It's almost like being back in Daytona!
