Throttle Problems...
I got some new Bitwell grips and a new throttle sleeve and initially was having problems with the sleeve sticking in the housing. I found that some of the sleeve was rubbing on the housing making it stick, so i shaved some off to aid proper movement. Now that everything in the throttle is moving smoothly the throttle cable is throwing me for a loop.
When the throttle cable is fully loosened the throttle adjustment arm, when at full throttle, is hitting the throttle stop. From previous experience i would loosen the throttle cable fully then tighten it till it was almost hitting the throttle stop, but at this point i have no room to back it off. Any suggestions?
To add to this the bike now stalls at idle and starts hiccuping at high rpm.

Did you remove the carb? Possible intake leak? Not sure how throttle cables can influence idle and high rpm, but let's deal with your throttle cable.
I'm not understanding your throttle issue. If you can tighten it, why can you not loosen it? Is the cable seated in the carb mount properly? You might need to push it in a little further to get some slack. You tighten the cable by lengthening the cable housing with the adjusters. Are you doing that?
