1998 gsxr-600:
Let me start off by saying that I about had to change my pants last night on my way home. I'm on my way home and make a left onto a main road. I'm comming upon a traffic light (that's turning yellow) so I let off the throttle completely and take my right hand off the grip. Out of nowhere, the bike goes from idling to redline and takes off
hmy. I immedately know something is up, so I pull in the clutch lever and flip the kill switch.
I go over to the side of the road, make sure the bike is in neutral, flip the kill switch back on and go to start it. Once it fires up, the bike immediately goes to redline (not even touching the throttle). So I turn it off again and make sure the throttle is twisted to the off position. Try to start it again and same thing. After a few more attempts to start it, it starts back up fine, idling around 1200-1300rpms. Click into first gear and head home.
This is completely stumping me. It's a carbed bike, the only way (that I know of anyways) for the bike to throttle up is via the cam on the side of the carbs, right? So I'm thinking I have a carb issue, they are here with me at work now. What else could it be? Could there be anything else causing this to happen?:scratch
