Bored of the parking lot, i moved onto back roads.
1st off a funny thing... im riding and all of a sudden throttle isnt working im saying WTF in my head. Im slowing down still saying WTF. Backstreet so no traffic, i pull over in someones drive way. it wouldnt restart, 3 minutes of trying starter and getting pissed. Thinkn of the LONG push back home. Swtich pecock to RES still no luck. wait a minute try again RES works, engine is running. BIG sigh of relief.
nfloor wanted to kill the guy who sold me the bike.
nfloor but then it started.
After just riding roads i didnt know i ended up in Henderson. 30 mins from where i live. On my way back im coming to a stop sign and semi busy highway. I downshift to 1st gear from about 35-45mph. clutch, downshift, REV, released clutch. i saw my RPMs rise which is normal when i downshift but they were HIGH. 8000rpms i swear they were rising but i looked up to watch the road instead. Next thing i know i hear a Screach from the rear, scared the fuck outta me so i grabbed clutch and felt a wobble in right handle bar. Slowed down and stopped. Checked my tires, checked the road behind me and saw nothing. WTF happened.
I'm thinking that most likely while reaching for front brake i pulled down on throttle. Like i had down several times when first riding the bike. I fixed my hand positioning to have my knuckles above my wrist at all times and that fixed that problem. But i also would like to know if dropping from 4th gear to 1st gear at about 45mph would have anything to do with this? ?
thanks for any input.
