don't tell me....
All,
Was sitting at a light this morning minding my own business, when all of the sudden, the motor revs up to 1200 rpm and stayed there. I didn't even have my hand on the throttle. Light turns green, so I grab the throttle, this it a little and it dies in me!!! I had to push it over to the side. I turn the start button off and then on, then hit the start and it fires up.
Now, possibly a fluke or is it a TBW problem? Just finished my bars 3 -4 weeks ago and have over 500 miles on it, so I hope it isn't that and a fluke. Any possible ideas If not either of my ideas? Leaving soon to go home and let ya know if I am huffing it or not.

Jiggle the wiring between the gas tank and back of fairing (right side)while idling. Or just turn the bars back and forth all the way a few times and see what happens. That zip-tie there has been known to be too tight and can damage wiring, shorting/grounding. Mine would jump to 4k rpm. Dealers techs couldnt find it till I told em I read about it in this forum!
Edit; After they had replaced everything from the Twist grip to the Throttle body. Glad it was under warranty, they really stuck it to the ESP dept lol.
