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 http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/17397.html |

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. |
