Did anyone else have problems with the throttle sticking wide open when trying to decelerate? This happened to me today and almost dumped my bike into the ditch. I think I can fix it by taping the throttle cable in place so it doesn't move when I decelerate the throttle (causing it to accelerate unexpectedly).

Also, does anyone know which direction of the petcock is normal open, closed, and reserve? The instruction manual is worthless for helping me figure this one out.

Throttle does not stick. Unless you have binding happening with the throttle cable. Do you have the free play set and did you have the same free play at full handlebar turn both directions?

Petcock is pick a lobe on the fuel tank to drain first. Once it’s empty switch to the other side to drain the last of the fuel in that lobe of the fuel tank.
