Default Throttle cable sticking

FYI
Just in case anyone runs into this. I had the faring off on my EGC and after re-installing it, I checked throttle operation and found that with the bars turned to the left stop, the throttle would not return to closed by it's self. Thinking I had pushed the cables into a tight bend or something I removed the faring again. No problem found there. Long story short, check the other end of the cables. I had to pull them back toward the connections behind the air cleaner. There was a sharp bend instead of a nice radius causing the bind.

Just thought I'd share.

Mine was doing same thing. I tried using wire ties to hold it in place by tying it to the other cable. Wound up adjusting the free play in the cables and got it to stop.

I'll try loosening the adjustment a bit too just to be sure.
Thanks for the input.
