Throttle grip doesn't spring back

[yellafella]

Question for all you mechanically inclined...

My throttle keeps getting stuck and it's not springing back the closed position. It's kind of annoying when I pull up to a stoplight and the engine REVs to all kingdom come.

Anyone have any ideas for a quick fix? I've thought about replacing the whole hand control. Do I have to go to this extreme.

Thanks

As long as your grips aren't binding your throttle, I'd take a look at where your throttle cable attaches to your carbs.
Take off your tank, and as you're sitting on the bike, IIRC, it is on your left. There's a spring that will snap the cable back from open. As long as you have it torn down this far, go lubricate your cable.

I just put New Bar End Weights, which caused my throttle to not snap back! Before, it operated perfectly, but now the grip is getting stuck on the weight.

I've got this same problem, ever since putting on Vortex bars and braided lines. How do I lubricate the cable?
