Returning home with some friends from our Weds. breakfast Club meeting and my throttle would not respond to my handle bar throttle controls. I needed to turn the engine off to stop the engine from accelerating.

Could not see what was causing the problem so I got the mighty RX3 towed home. Called Gerry who requested some photos and suggested how to begin trouble shooting the bike.

When I went into the house to process the photos, I noticed a small stone stuck in the throttle body return spring. The stone was only visible when i was able to shine a light on it. Once i removed the stone the idle returned to normal.

i wanted to let the rest of you to know what to look for if something similar happens to you.
