Throttle body is spring loaded to return to idle. Note the connection needed to pull it open with your fingers. Twist the throttle and see which one pulls with the correct rotation of the grip. Match this cable to the correct tb connection and it will be correct. Now you can tweek as needed at the grip adjusting sleeves . Instead of telling you which one goes where, I wanted you to see how it all works. Without knowing how these two cables work as a unit in relation to the tb, you will never do a good job of adjustment. Make sure your thumb screw is loose before adjusting. Loosen both barrels at the grip quite a bit to allow tb to close. Tighten the adjuster that's closest to the front of the bike until slack is taken up. You will have slight play in the grip and on each release you will hear the tb make a click sound as it hits the idle stop. Now take up the slack in the other adjuster until the audible click on the tb is almost gone. Go back the other way until click is solid again. Check full throttle operation by looking at the stop on the tb arm hitting the casting. Once you have minimal play in the start of the grip rotation, an audible idle click and full throttle indication, it is adjusted. It takes a bit of fiddling at first to figure out all the adjustments and the effect of one against the other, but it will make sense eventually. Don't tighten the return cable too much or it will screw with the other cables adjustment. Just take up the slack.

When I just put all of mine together, I had the same problem. As already stated, make sure you get the right cable in the right hole on the throttle body. Then the next step is to loosen the control housing a bit. Then check to make sure that there is nothing binding the sleeve in the housing. Not much here to go wrong. Let us know what you find.
Good Luck! You will get it fixed.
