Re: [ST] weird throttle happenings!

It's probably your wiring harness. Some early '99s had a problem with 
how the wiring harness was attached or tied down near the headstock 
and after awhile the binding would cause the wires to break. Someone 
who had the problem can probably provide a better description.

It is a known problem and there might have even been a recall for it. 
Check with your dealer and even though your bike is out of warranty, 
if that is the problem they should cover it.
