Hi All,
Just picked up a second-hand 525 EXC "Six Days" (2005) last Saturday.
It was fully fuelled when the following happened last night...
Riding home along an A-road near where I live in approx. 4/5th gear when suddenly, I go to open her up a bit to overtake and ... nothing... the engine was still running, but the throttle would do absolutely nothing.
As the bike was slowing, I obviously had to plan my "controlled" pull-over as there was a bit of traffic and also had to hang back and get behind the car I was about to overtake.
I managed to pull in to the side of the road, the bike then stalled. I then started her up and voila, the throttle worked again and I was able to pull away and get myself home.
Anyone any ideas please? Fuel was full, I wasn't on reserve or anything like that, did an oil change Sunday, all throttle cables seem fine and I can't see anything out of the ordinary? The bike was serviced approx. one month ago.
I also have another slight issue - when coming to a stop using the front brake, it judders a little at the last stage before coming to a halt - any ideas on this one also please?
TIA.
