Throttle sticking...

Noticed the night before I leave on a long road trip that the throttle sticks when the front wheel is turned all the way to the left. I'm guessing that the cable is getting pinched somehow?? This only happens when fully turned to the left. Help!

You gotta look at every point on the throttle cable, and probably re-adjust it. Would help tremendously for you to give a little info on year/model bike also...

THIS, and the fact that the only time you'll ever turn your handlebars all the way to the left is when you're parking minimizes your problem.
You may want to disconnect the throttles at the grip and try to get some lubrication down into the cables then re-adjust the cables.
