hi, had an issue with my k3 the other day, it decided to open up the throttle on its own, spat me off and spun down the road, anybody have any answers? also seeing as its not done to much damage any sugestions for repairng a cracked top fairing? im qouite surprised how little damage to the bike even at 80mph.......well apart from pegs,levers, and the other normal spill damage

Do you mean the throttle stuck? Understanding the way the FI system works I can't see how it can open the throttle on it's own.
Whatever, I'm glad you're still able to post.

i over took a car, changed up a gear then it just pulled away like a bat out of hell. to be honest i cant remember much as it happened so quick. so i guess it could of stuck open.
im ok sore thumb and a graze on my belly as i didnt zip trousers to jacket. but the gear did its job. could of been nasty, dont no why people wear just a t-shirt

Its a transformer, they tend to do that sort of thing.

dont mean to insult ya but did you drop it down a gear or possibly two by accident that would explain sudden surge and loss of control due to bucking bronco effect if clutch is let out quick as well
