I'll get the dealership involved if it's something major. I should be able to handle this myself. I want to get to know the bike anyway.
Is this the service manual or does anyone have any better recommendations?

I feel you on getting to know the bike, but if I had low of mileage/new of bike.. the dealer would be fixing it.
And yes, that looks to be a factory manual.

With a new bike I make a clear distinction between doing things beneficial to my bike and I - and fixing faults, which IMHO is the dealer's job!

Just my humble opinion (and I don't mean to be a troll or criticize you) but a sticking throttle seems to me to be a major issue that requires someone with specialized knowledge to fix properly, particularly in light of the potential consequences of it sticking open while you are riding.
This view is even more compelling considering that the repair should be free, it happened so soon and for no apparent reason, and that you do not have the technical literature at hand to help you understand how the system is intended to work.
You are, of course, entitled to do as you please.
Your owner's manual should have the part numbers of the appropriate service manuals in it. Usually those are listed towards the back and there are, I think 3 of them (at least there are for my 2014 1200C). One covers the "how to" maintenance and servicing, one is for the electrical diagnostics and one for the parts list.
