I have had this happen a few times with my twist throttle. Sometimes when im ridin in muddy conditions my throttle will stay pinned. The first time i hit a tree. Second time i got to fast when it stuck and it rolled. Has this ever happend to you? What is it from? Finaly i decided to have a REAL mechanic take care of it. Replaced everything related to it. Im just glad it is finaly fixed.

on my 80 i cracked the twist throttle plastic piece once causing my throttle to stick wide open... thank god i was in a field pulled in the clutch and killed the motor... i just replaced the plastic piece with a metal one and it never happened again!!

Had it happen on the ATC 250R..
2 strokes, 3 wheelers, and twist throttles do not go together!

i was riding with this kid who has a quadsport 230 with a twist throttle...... it stuck in trails and he went into the woods and hit a bush with about 10-15 little thin trees, he rode up onto the little trees and he got stuck
he was lucky cause he was going FAST and he had a big tree about 4 ft in front of where he stopped
