A friend of mine has been pestering me about the throttle. His concern was that it could have been damaged in the crash enough to possibly give a false reading to the computer, telling it that it is in wide open position. That would be bad on any bike but especially on the busa. I assured him that the TPS (throttle position sensor) was bullet proof and not to worry.
However, I just read a GP race article that has me worried. It described several problems at Suzka track in Japan recently. There were a few instances of the “fly by wire” throttles “sticking” wide open when entering a corner. There was even the possibility of a death resulting from it (rider hit the wall without a good explanation).
Am I being paranoid or could this be a real concern. It would be very very bad to go full throttle in crowded traffic. Please ease my mind, before I finish biting my nails and get started on my knuckles. Chris
