Throttle WAS stuck

[derf]

Rode the bike over the weekend, and the throttle was sticking, it worked great for riding, sorta like cruise control, but sucks for riding because the gas is always on. My first thought was that the bar was bent (dealt with that mess before), or possibly something broken.

Anyway Took the right side of the bar apart tonight, was hoping that just taking it apart would solve it, but it didnt. I had to clean the bar and the plastic tube out pretty good, they were both covered in black gook. I think when I lubed the cables last fall some lube found its way into the throttle housing and finally turned solid enough that it stuck. Put it all back together and its fine now, just goes to show that not all fixes have to cost an arm and a leg.
