Take everything apart and check it at the handlebar before you go any further. Sounds like maybe a cable is broken... trace the cable to the carb and see if that's ok... and functioning.
Let us know what you find.

The throttle grip does not return to the closed position anymore. Is there a spring at the carb end that might have broken?

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.

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.

- March 09, 2009, 09:16:52 AMWent 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.
