Default Baffling?

Recently completed my apes mod,everything A o.k. except throttle. It is sticking, hard to operate. Have been through the setup several times with adjustments, No Luck. What is it stuck on. New cables, new grips. Could it be stuck on wiring inside, Meaning the wiring was not put in bars far enough? Need Help, Need Answers. Thanks in advance to any reponse....Ride Safe and Often.......BearC.Paw......

Have you checked the grip itself to see if the barrel might be sticking inside?
Maybe some piece of junk is stuck inside causing it to bind up.

Also check your adjustment on the cables. Even having them just right snug sometimes causes that. You need to losen them up a lot and play with them until they settle in.
