Until the safety investigation is complete can't make a judgement either way. The kill switch is close for a reason I can't believe that wasn't an option. You can't rule out operator error as a cause.

The same 08 RG a buddy of mine has that i test rode when he started it up ran up to 2500 rpms and would not release or return to idle until he turned it off. After that it has never done it again. It's been 4 months since and 2000 miles. Either way its kind of creepy and hope that his family is taken care of by the MOCO if it is something they did wrong. Sorry for the lost of yours and his family.
