alright, i know this topic has been talked about before but i couldn't find anything to answer this.
This is what happened: on saturday i went riding my kx at the badlands in indiana. After 4 hours riding, right when i was about to pack it up, the throttle on my bike stuck wide open. I hit the kill switch and turned my attention to the throttle. It wouldn't even barely twist, it felt like mush, so i pushed it back to the car. When i got home i took the throttle apart up at the top and i say that the cable was "bent" and it was frayed. I don't know if that's enough to cause it to stick, but i'm guessing it was. it definitely wasn't the throttle tube w/ sand in it or something, because it wouldn't even barely twist like i said. I looked down at the carb and everything looked okay, though i may be wrong. Basically i'm asking if the problem is the cable or not? or could it be something else?
thanks
