Hi Guys, a new member here, hoping I may be able to get some helpful information to hopefully sort my issue.
My bike has started giving me a problem lately. when I ride over a bump in the road ,the engine warning light on the dash comes on, and there is no response from the throttle. The motor still runs but no throttle response. I can then stop the bike and turn it off, then restart it , and the engine light goes out and no problem with the throttle.
This has been happening maybe once every 500 odd kilometres lately. Only thing I can think of is that I put a set of heated grips on about a year ago, has this upset the electronic throttle some how? I have been lucky so far that it hasn’t happened when I have had a vehicle behind me, but time to get it sorted before it causes an accident.
