New Owner and rider here.

I dropped my bike at ~10mph and it landed on the right side. when i restarted it he bike immediately reved and I had to turn the throttle back to idle. I flicked the throttle a few times and noticed that it was very slow on the returm. What are the general reason this may happem? And what are some things i should try to help solve the problem? Also, where is the return spring located? On the carb? In the throttle handle? I noticed the carb is under the gas tank where its niether easily acessible nor seen.

My second qeustion is what are the adverse effects of laying you bike down (other then cosmetic and frame)? I see ads that saying that so-and-so bike has never been dropped. Why is this important?

I had a wrecker back into my baike in my parking space and knock it on right side did same thing it bent handlebar a bit but the problem is the grip was pushed towards the inside so pull it away from the bike it is rubber gripping against the on off switch and mine is like new hope this helps you if not there is a cable for open and close but probably your grip thats it

 

yeah check the grip if they aint glued on right or move too close to the kill switch assemblythey will slide and stick leaving your throttle open or hard to turn. if that doesnt work look to the throttle cables maybe somthing is pinched or cought up. but i would go to the grips first.

 

its eather the grip as mentioned, or the cables, or the twist throttle.

 

Oh Thanks, the solution didnt require me to buy any new parts
