Spray some electrical contact cleaner on both ends, harness, and throttle housing, slide the harness on and off two or three times, maybe 4 times, then reinstall, and drive the bike. (You are cleaning the contact pins on both parts, it causes this issue many times) See if that fixes the issue. If not, you will need to replace throttle control grip, with latest SE model. It is possible that the throttle module is the issue, but rarely is. almost always the first two.
Always give mileage, year, and model of bike when asking for help, we're not mind readers!!
