Vehicle speed control: “While maneuvering my v-star 1300 tourer (xvs13ctw(c)) in a parking lot the throttle became stuck almost causing me to drop the motorcycle. The throttle becomes stuck when the motorcycle handle bars are turned hard to the right. I have no remedy for the situation. I took the motorcycle to the nearest Yamaha shop. The complaint was verified. It also exists on a brand new floor model. The problem appears to be consistent on only the tourer model.”
