jj46 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 My daughters 20r seems to have developed an annoying intermittent fault, she has complained that it has seemed to very occasionally lose power for an instant and we put this down to a dodgy on/off switch (now renewed). After a very wet and muddy practise last weekend I washed the bike off and dried it but found that the bike's throttle was sticking (it snapped back but the motor kept going?) After checking all the connections and cleaning them and putting dielectric grease on them the bike had no power, it ran as if the battery was flat before coming back to life. This has happened a few times now - Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 first I would swap out the throttle, it may have a loose magnet or a broken ( intermittent ) wire/connection to the sensor in the throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudah Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Happened on my 16/36v with the same type throttle when i got water into it by accident. Bike ran a little by itself when i hosed the throttle with water. Gave it a new throttle and then it was as new again. -Always used a plastic bag as protection for the throttle after that (when washing)and babywipes If the throttle itself needed cleaning.

jj46 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the replies, i'll order a throttle tomorrow and see if it cures it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
