THE THROTTLE GRIP CABLE STAY FAILED DROPPING A SMALL PIECE INTO THE CABLE PATH AND JAMMED THE THROTTLE OPEN AT 65 MPH. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP NOR DID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WERE ANY OTHER FAILURES OF THIS TYPE. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND ALSO THE DANGER TO OTHERS IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO SOMOEONE ELSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. ALSO THE MANUFACTURERS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE FAILURE WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IF WANTED I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE FAILED PART.*AK
