Default Throttle stuck

Soo, first of all, thank you to anyone who reads this. I have a 2009 Superglide Custom. I went out to ride it yesterday and the throttle won't budge. The bike cranks, but the throttle appears locked or stuck. This bike hasn't had any modifications and just last week, I cranked it and the throttle was just fine. Not sure what's happened.

I called my local Harley shop and they can't get to it for two weeks and I'm just curious if anyone can point me to something, maybe something simple. The Harley shop guy said he'd never heard of a stuck throttle.

Thanks again.

Your throttle cable came off the throttle grip and binded up

Take apart your throttle housing and re seat your cables to the throttle grip

First advice, change Harley shop, this guy laughs at you.
Second, if the trick from gartec81 don't work, take off the air filter and wash all you can see with grease remover.

Make sure someone didnt tighten up that little star shaped throttle lock nut under your grip

You know just as a prank! especially if it was working fine a week ago. Otherwise gartec's answer may be right, but not what lansing said, the cables do not go into the efi at all!
