    this morning i set off for work, and 2 miles down the road my rpms sped up to 9000 revs and it seemed like my throttle had froze at half way... bike wouldn't stop.

    so i turned ignition off and put the bike on the stand and turned it on, the bike continued to rev and the back wheel was going at speed, as if i was literally full throttle, so i unscrewed the idle screw a notch and played with the throttle and then it finally stopped..

    what the hell happened, anyone know?

    It's never happened before and today has been the worst weather yet.. I thought it was due to the weather conditions no? Bike is only a few months old

    was wondering, did you check the exhaust for a restrictor or not ????

    T hexagon tools haven't arrived yet, plus it's been snowing and with work haven't really had the chance mate no garage either :( just really baffled about this sticking acceleration really, almost crashed twice bcos of it... The throttle itself moves but the bike just continues revving and moving
