SR3 sticking throttle !!

[silv]

Help Last time out we experienced an intermitant sticking throttle when blipping it from tick over and at low revs. The problem felt like a sticking cable but after WD40, re routing and adjusting the cable the problem still persists. The engine is a 1300 Busa on injectors not carbs, could this be an electrical issue? maybe a sensor?

Could be electrical, however does the butterflies shut properly i.e. click when you shut the throttle (using the pedal) If they do then do they all shut at the same time?

khm it was a bit worrying leaving the pit road but with more throttle and higher revs on track it was ok.
Rob, I think I will give Neil at Corinium MS a call, but we will check the butterflies first. If they are ok any idea what in the electrical system could be the cause. Thanks

did you try WD40 on the return springs on the throttle bodies, as after they get damp a time or two, they can stick, but WD should sort it out!
