Default throttle

hello all, the throttle on my fatboy twists backwards from the idle position, obviously something is broken or missing in there.Any ideas and is a fairly simple fix?
thanks

If it's electronic throttle body it's supposed to. That's one way to disable cruise. It's just a little bit

Do you mean "backward" backward or "forward" backward if you're sitting on the bike?
