2015 Kymco 700i uxv sticks on full throttle

[gregjo1948]

My machine starts well with temperatures below zero, but after accelerating to get moving, it goes to and sticks to full throttle.  Why is this happening and how do I fix it? thanks, gregjo1948

If it's got a throttle cable you should check that's going right back when you throttle off. If the throttle's electrical you should check it moves properly, and goes right back of course, then check it's wiring. Check that it's not moving the handlebars that's causing it too.

Are you sure it's really going to full throttle.. like, if you have only given it half throttle, does it really move to full throttle by itself, or just stay at some revs.

May be the cable sticking. Ne electrical. Steering wheel--not handlebars. Definitely going to full throttle.

Likely a bit of ice in the cable, pretty common.  I'd grab a cable lube tool and shove that dude full of cable spray.

For a long time now a lot of cables have been lined with nylon or teflon or something and it's advised not to lube them... The manual should say.

I'd check the routing of the cable, and that the pedal(if it has one) is operating correctly, and that the motor or body doesn't move under load/oeration and pull the cable.
