Speaking of this:
Once at the shop, a friend brought in a '99 GasGas he had bought for me to fix his "throttle sticking" problem.

The previous owner had iinstalled a KTM jet needle, which was too short. When I "whacked open" the throttle firmly, the needle could come out of the needle jet and stick, and the bike would be stuck on "WFO".

If anyone uses a KTM spec needle, make sure it's long enough to not cause this problem.
