crashed my 2017 LTX-LE sidewinder today

Here is your shock Snowbeast! Just waiting on shaft and rebound rod price. Glad to help get her back together. Oh and these are really nice shocks! Still have bleeder in piston and its not plastic junk. Only thing missing vs older Evols is Hiems. Parts are all available and well within your budget. Soon you will ride!

Today I went load my 2017 Sidewinder on the trailer and I tipped the dam thing on its right side and it sat there. Shut it off and tipped back up. Loaded it on trailer and off we went. Now we are riding the groomed ditches and I launched of a drive way and no throttle. Stopped and it worked fine. Took another field drive and came down and throttle was stuck wide open. The flipper was sloppy. Like the cable was stuck. Sd_84 or 85 popped up on dash. I hit the kill switch before I got killed. Motor recovered all is good until I pinned it in a open field and throttle would stick again. Code would pop up again. So the rest of day I had to behave myself and not use all the ponies. Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Check your throttle cable where it enters the throttle assembly. When righting your sled, you might have pulled it out of it's holder. Apply pressure and see if you can snap it back in place. That should solve cable bind. ( Yeah I know, he should have started a new thread, but just trying to help out a fellow sledder)

Thanks I put the black plastic piece back over the adjuster nut so hopefully that’s the issue.Thank you. I didn’t want to start another thread so I went searching for stuck throttle. So much info on here is a good thing.

SD84 is in relation to TORS which would make sense if you throttle cable was sticking, out of position, or out of adjustment.
Sounds like you found your problem.
 
Glad you got it resolved,before you got hurt,my problem was more drastic,i hit a tree because throttle was bound up from my teather cord,it had slipped in behind the throttle block,and no I was not wearing it wrapped around my wrist where it should have been.
 
Thanks beast. I didn’t know what your throttle problem was and it’s kinda scary when it stuck.

It sure is scary,crap. Stuff happens quick,when I hit the tree at only 30mph,it through me 20 feet into another tree and rocks. I got banged up good,broke knee cap,and ripped ACL/MCL,i was a year healing completely.
