I need help with a little problem. My 2018 Sidewinder will get stuck at 70 MPH no matter how much throttle I give it. It's quick up to seventy, then I give it more gas, even to the bar and its just stuck there. It will on occasion "free up", and I can feel it, and then will accelerate. Gas is fresh, runs fine, no codes. I had the fuel pump tested last year when it was sputtering, and was fine at that time. Not sure what's up.

Throttle position sensor?
Have you checked how to see the digital reading on your instrument cluster. Watched a video on YouTube that tells you how to read what your throttle is reading as you depress it.

Are the clutch's sticking? The primary not fully shifting out? Weight getting stuck?
