Engine & coolingTransmission & drivetrain

Piaggio bv500 throttle cable freezes when temperature is below 30 degrees. The cable may get stuck in the open position(full or partial speed) while moving shortly after moving the bike. I have waited 15-20 minutes for the cable to defrost as it is above the radiator, and driven a few blocks and the cable refroze as the wind cooled off the cable. Very dangerous! Be careful out there. *Tr
