If your throttle is stuck and twisting it does not release it, you should:

  1. Keep trying to twist it harder.

  2. Change your riding position.

  3. Apply both brakes immediately.

  4. Pull the kill engine switch.

The correct answer is: Pull the kill engine switch.

If your throttle is stuck and twisting it does not release it, the correct action to take is to pull the kill engine switch. By doing so, you will cut off the engine power, which will help you safely come to a stop. It is crucial to remember this safety measure in case of a stuck throttle to prevent any further acceleration or loss of control. As for the other options: A. Keep trying to twist it harder: Continuing to try and force the throttle can exacerbate the situation and lead to loss of control. B. Change your riding position: While changing your riding position is a good idea for comfort or maneuvering, it will not necessarily resolve the issue of a stuck throttle. C. Apply both brakes immediately: Applying the brakes immediately when the throttle is stuck can cause the motorcycle to lurch or skid, which may increase the risk of a crash. It is better to cut off the engine first by using the kill engine switch.
