Default Hard to turn throttle!

I have a hard to turn throtle, It's throtle by wire and on long rides it sometimes gets easier to turn, But for the most part of it it's hard to turn? Anyone with ideas would be appreciated! I ride a 2010 Road King. Took the clam shell apart inspected the grips, did not see anything binding? My email is rickmcdoweii45@gmail.com.

I had an ongoing problem with a stiff throttle. Replaced a bunch of stuff. Cables. Lubed cables. No binding. All that jazz. Ended up being my grips. They were old and slightly deformed. Which I could tell by looking at them. Another thing you could try is loosening the throttle pod and moving it about 1/8 on an inch to see if it's just too far on the bars.
