So picked up a 250r that was in a lot of pieces, got it put together and went for the first ride. It ran great, it smoked pretty bad at first and now its not bad the only problem is I am pretty sure is the throttle stuck and caused me to wreak. The wreck happens at approx 3:40 ish. Watch closely I turn off the kill switch, and my thumb is off the throttle then pull the clutch in and it revs up real high then I think when I wreak maybe it continues to run because until I lift up the bike and release the clutch cause I think it was pulled against the ground. Let me know what you guys think could have caused this probly a bad cable would be my guess. When I pulled it out and hit the throttle it felt a little binded and then broke free and was fine.

That must've been quite the ride! Bike all good? And throttle cable routed properly?

Check for frays in the cable... If nothing seems wrong with the cable pull out your carb slide and check for marks where the slide may have jumped out of its track

Yes quite the ride, pretty damn helpless feeling!!! Pretty sure it is routed as per the manual, but haven't looked at it scene the incident had to work and my left leg was pretty sore so washed it and put away. And she seems to be all good started back up and rode very carefully back to the truck.

Will replace the cable just cause, and will check the slide. this happened once when I first started it went into hi rev in neutral and the kill switch wouldn't kill it, pulled the coil wire and still going then hit the throttle and it died. This I figured was from the reed gasket bolts not tightened and the gaskets leaking, replaced and ran real good always start on the 2nd kick, and idles great.

Hope your leg is OK. Trikes can be fixed

Man that engine redlined hard. That engine took some abuse. Might want to check your top end. I was riding around after i ran mine hard in powder dirt. I had a little loss of power and noticed i had a cracked piston skirt when i took top end apart. No doubt in my mind over revving caused this.

Wow! Dude, you are soooo lucky you weren't in the woods, or mountains when that happened. If it ever happens again pull the clutch in and f**k what happens to the engine.

Be sure to check EVERYTHING including the throttle assembly.

Be safe!

rebuilding a motor is better than having to have someone else rebuild a limb

here is a pic of the worst bruise on my leg from the handle bars, it was pretty swollen at first, then this is 3 days after and starting to bruise. Pretty sure the trike is all good, if not got lots of spare parts!!

I hope it didn't mess up the top end, It started rite back up, and idled it back to the truck scared to touch that throttle.

yea I'm sure the way it happened was the best way possible, either that or threw a barb wire fence, parked car, tree etc... THANK GOD I GOT THE MUD PUDDLE!!!!!!

Neither I would prefer, but defiantly motor before and limb, lol by the way I like your Signature "Full throttle or no throttle" this case no throttle please!!!!

[Samjp22]

Hahaha full throttle is fun while your in control! Not so fun when it leads to crashing or blowing a top end in my case, currently under rebuild

Make sure to look in the carb throat and be certain that no one put some sort of mismatched needle in it that can come out of the tube at WOT and get stuck. Odds are its a frayed cable, but don't leave anything to chance.
