Throttle sticking
#3
First check how tight the throttle lock is. If it's tight loosen it. If it's not that then the cables may need lubricating. If it's not that the cable might be bound up against something. If it's not that the carb might need help. If it's not that you might need a new bike.

What model and year of bike? Does it turn freely or does it just not return to idle when you remove your hand? When was the last time you checked and lubed the cables? Did you recently change grips?

Mine started doing that after I let it sit for about a month following a long wet trip to Alaska. Talking to an HD tech and he said it is probably rust in the cables and to just lube them and the rust or grit would work loose and flush out. I have lubed the cables three times using a lot of lube and they are better but not right yet.
A good suggestion short of replacing the cables would be welcome.

Just a question, what makes everyone think he has a carb? My EFI has a throttle cable.
I understand the principle but ya know what I mean. The suggestions are spot on.
Would be nice if the OP provided more information the entire situation.

Mine was sticking. Cruise control lights were coming on also, when I first bought it used. Housing was clamped down too tight on throttle by wire. (or misaligned). Put back, no problems,
