What should you do if your throttle sticks while riding?

When faced with a situation where the throttle sticks while riding, pulling in the clutch and rolling off the throttle is the most effective and safest response. Engaging the clutch disengages the engine from the rear wheel, allowing the rider to maintain control of the motorcycle without the immediate acceleration caused by the stuck throttle. By rolling off the throttle while the clutch is pulled in, the rider can decelerate gradually, reducing speed without losing control.

This approach also allows for the possibility of identifying and addressing the issue while still maintaining stability. It ensures that the rider is able to maneuver the motorcycle more easily and safely, possibly moving to a location where they can stop and inspect the throttle mechanism without endangering themselves or others on the road. Additionally, this method helps avoid the dangers associated with other options, such as hard braking or accelerating to unstick the throttle, both of which can lead to loss of control or an unsafe situation.
