Hey ya'll
I'm new to riding and I love Buells, so I bought myself a XB9R for my first bike. It is a monster, and clearly was a little too much for me yesterday. . .
I dumped it going around 30mph

I can fix up everything else, but there's one thing that idk what to do
the throttle. it doesn't spring itself back anymore, so if i pull the throttle, it just holds there, i have to manually ease it back, just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. I did realize that the black bulb part at the end of the handle did snap off, idk if that will affect the throttle being stuck.
also, i noticed the price for pegs on the top of this forum, where do I buy it for those prices? when I took the spill, i also snapped the pegs off

thanks everyone!

sounds like the plastic throttle tube

may be damaged..may have jammed throttle up

on handlebar.. try loosen 2 screws where
cables go and slide it down on bars

also check throttle cables and make

sure they are not sticking or binding up

Go take the MSF courses now (start with basic, it will be 90% review and 10% new material, but until you take it you won't hit 100%). Then go straight to the advanced course. Worth it's weight in gold.
