Consumer Description

I EXPERIENCED THE 900 THROTTLE STICK PROBLEM OM MY KAWASAKI VULCAN 900 MOTORCYCLE. I WAS CRUISING ON A SIDE ROAD ABOUT 40 MPH IN 3RD GEAR. I ROLLED THE THROTTLE OFF TO SLOW DOWN, AND IT JUST KEPT GOING. I PULLED THE CLUTCH AND REVED IT A FEW TIMES AND IT WENT AWAY. IT HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES ALL WITHIN A SPAN OF 4-5 MINUTES. I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER GEAR. MANY PEOPLE WERE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM ON THE KAWASAKI FORUM AT TTP://WWW.KAWASAKIMOTORCYCLE.ORG/FORUM/ THE THROTTLE STICK PROBLEM ALWAYS APPEARED TO HAPPEN AROUND 35-40 MPH IN 3RD GEAR. ONE PERSON SEEMED TO HAVE IT FIXED BY REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE ECU. *AK
