I have a 2017 renegade 850 it only has 500 miles tops on it and I love the machine it’s an animal. My question is I was riding and out of know where the machine went wide open at took of full throttle was able to hit kill switch brought the machine in checked everything found nothing wrong about 2-3 months later it happen again no warning nothing the second time I was pulling out of my garage going slow and all of a sudden it goes full throttle slammed into a truck and even then it just wouldn’t stop it was out of control Has anyone experienced this before ????
Ive seen throttle cables stick but never seen one just go full throttle. Not really possible with cable actuated throttle as the driver is the only one with input.

I did on a carburated motorcycle. It was enduro riding in wet weather near freezing with temperatures dropping. The throttle cable iced up. Although I could twist the throttle open, the return spring was not strong enough to close the throttle because of the ice. Kill switch did not kill it. Thats when my motorcycle riding turned into rodeo riding.
Sure hope you find the problem quickly. Wish I could help.
The first time I was just coming up the driveway not hammering the second time I was literally putting out of my garage and both times it just took off slammed in to the truck bounced off that kept going ended up flipping over
Handlebars straight
Just don’t get why or what would cause that to happen without acceleration of the throttle like I said in another comment was there is a throttle positioning sensor If the sensor was bad would that have anything to do with it
The sensor just tells the ECM what position the throttle plate is at.
Even if the TPS failed and sent a WOT signal to the computer, as long as the throttle plate/cable is still at whatever 1/8th or 1/4 throttle, nothing like what you describe, would happen.
