Filing in context
The Throttle (Accelerator) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 3 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 22 Honda notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 941 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 6 months.
Issue
On motorcycles, the throttle cable manufacturing process is improper, causing burrs to form on the inside of the outer casing on some units. The inner wire may catch on these burrs, fray, and snag against the outer casing, making it difficult for the throttle to return. In the worst case, the throttle may fail to return and engine speed may not decrease.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the throttle cable with a conforming part.
