Default TBW problem???

I just noticed today when I got on my bike that the throttle grip was shifted forward. I couldn't figure it out. I tried rolling it forward, "as if shutting down the rear cylinder position" and it kept spinning. I have used that feature in the past and it always stopped about 1/2" rolled forward, today it didnt. Throttle functions normal still, just the grip can spin forward...any ideas?

Sounds to me like the plastic in the throttle sensor itself is broken. There should be a stop in it to keep it from doing just that.

sounds like it's broke, I think it runs around $80.

I am the dumbest f**k out there. The plastic inner of the ISO grips came loose from the actual grip...some Gorilla Glue and all is well. Luckily I hadn't twisted the throttle ALL the way back otherwise it would have done it in that direction too...thanks for the responses

Always interested in the issues as they come up with the TBW.
