Throttle sticking

Hey fellas, its my first time riding since the winter and i noticed my throttle sticking , while i was riding it was as if the throttle was stuck half open and would sit around 25-3000 rpm. I took the cover off and sprayed some cable lubricant in there but still nothing. Anyone have any advice? Thanks

Maybe the friction control on the throttle needs to be backed off.
Look at the throttle body where the cables are attached, twist the throttle and see if the operation of both cables look good at that end. If one looks like it's binding you could lube the cables.

Loosen the adjuster on the cable and turn it some either way, until the throttle snaps back.

Your IAC is sticking or you have a manifold leak.

seperate the controller with the buttons, (whatever its called) to look at the throttle grip. Mine did the same. I sprayed liquid wrench in and around the grip where the cables are connected, haven't had a sticky throttle sense.
