need some advise. bike has been sitting for a couple of weeks. went to start it up and the throttle grip is stuck when you roll on the gas it wont go back to idle. this morning i have lubed everything i can find, lubed the grip on the handle bars. sprayed lubed down both cables. nothing is binding up sprayed the, i guess you call it a return spring at the intake.
still wont return back. is my cable messed up and time to get new ones? braided ones?

Is it possible something in the crusie control module is interfering with the operation of your throttle? Just a guess...
