I was riding on my local MX track the other day, and my throttle kept sticking. Caused me to wreck three times. On my 250R (pics soon). IF this happened to you on any quad? what did you do to fix it?
thanx

Your throttle stuck twice causing you to crash each time, and still you returned to the track to crash yet a third time???

You're a slow learner. Crash number one as a result of a stuck throttle should have been all that was necessary for you to lubricate the throttle cable thoroughly and inspect it for kinks that could cause it to hang up.

Finally, failure to affect proper throttle operation after lubricating and adjusting the throttle cable should have been the signal to retire from the track until the problem was resolved. The three out of control crashes you experienced did more than just put you in harm's way. They also put every other racer sharing the track with you in harm's way. Any competent racer would have side-lined his machine first before allowing their problem to become someelse's tragedy.

Ok before anyone else doggs me. I was the only one one the track. I was also on the other side of the track. I had to get back to my truck, and the throttle stuck three times on my way back. I shouldve been more specific. i wasn't being incompetant, and am quite offended at your responses.

Well, of course check your throttle cable. If you see any fraying at all, replace it. If you're running stock carb, a new one at Honda comes with the top to the carb and a new gasket for it. It's a very easy install. If that doesn't fix it, then check out the slide in your carb, but most likely you have a kinked up spring on top of it.
