Oh, you know what?  Disregard my previous comment.  I totally read your post wrong.

You're saying that the reason you fell is that your bike wouldn't decel.  Now I get it.

My question would be then, did the throttle grip snap back to starting position or did it stay stuck when you released it?  If it stayed, then I would remove the grip and put some grease in it to lube it up a bit and see if that helps.

So just to clarify, you dropped the bike, and while the bike was still down on the ground the throttle stayed open even though you let go?

Was it just that one time or does it still happen now?

Also, someone who knows more about them can probably answer this, but I'm wondering why your "down sensor" didn't recognize the bike was dropped and kill your engine like it's supposed to.

Went riding on Friday and dumped the bike after going into a turn too hot.  Decel didn't happen when I released throttle.  Checked decel cable but it doesn't seem to be binding.  Does anyone have any ideas what to check next?

Thanks in advance.
