I have a 2007 KTM 85 that the throttle cable keeps popping out of the carb. Everything looks perfect. It seems that the needle has a little plastic coating on it that catches when the needle moves up and down as you turn the throttle. I think this is the problem, but if I replace the needle, I think the new one would be the same. Maybe a drop of locktite tools it in place? Does anyone have a fix for this?
Ours went at a race & I thought cable broke so bought a new one. Pulled out again in exact same place on track. Fixed again he test rode in a field then went out for practice and did it a third time in same spot. Then a brand new 2015 85 next to us had it happen. I parked my kids bike for the rest of the weekend. Everything looked perfect but until I replaced it all I didn't feels safe about it....one of the strangest mechanicals I have ever experienced.......
