Went riding today on my 09 M8 HCR. I rode it for a while and realized I didn't have my bars up so I raised them and then my sled wouldn't start. We pulled & pulled and nothing but it was getting spark. Then we decided to fiddle with the throttle a little and it started and run but when I was playing in the trees & on & off throttle it would almost die sometimes. I think it's in the throttle sensor. When I got home I moved the bars up & down & now it won't start again.What do I do? Does anyone have experience with this?

Melted Cable??

My throttle cable got too hot from the pipe heat and the inside melted. Covered by my dealer under warranty and added the same heat shield as on the exhaust valve cables. Happened first ride and haven't had a problem since.
