Filed Apr 25, 2025Failure Apr 25, 2025Saratoga Springs, UTVehicle speed control
When driving bike it randomly looses throttle control. Generally while cruising in 5-6 gear on a highway. The bike remains running, but all ability to use the throttle is gone. Happens almost every ride. Extremely dangerous when it happens on a freeway or highway. Contacted Husqvarna and they referred me back to my local dealer, local dealer does not know how to fix this problem. In my online searches this is a very common problem. Please help!
