Like the throttle legit just sits at the one spot where ever i place it and it does it snap back at all. The revs continue to increase aswell lol. And i know it couldnt have done anything to it as i have never raced it i just left it in my garage one night came back the next morning to this because it was working perfectly the day before. Maybe the previous owner did not winterize it properly which cudda caused the lube or oil to dry up. I honestly dont know haha

Hopefully bro cuz just to tow the bike there and back is going to cost 200 dollars lmfaoooo
New cables shouldn't need any "lube" at all if they are adjusted correctly. Actually, I'm a firm believer that cables don't need any additional lube at all. What they came with new is best.
If push/pull cables are set too tight you wont get a good throttle return either. Both cables have to be properly adjusted so they aren't fighting each other. As someone else mentioned, make sure the routing is correct. But on a new bike it shouldn't be a problem unless someone has messed around with it.

save yourself the tow fee. If you're comfortable ... loosen the throttle cables, take OFF the THROTTLE GRIP from the handle bar. Clean inside and whatever gunk on the handle bar making it stick -- add some WD40 inside the throttle grip once its clean. Reinstall and make sure all cables adjusted properly.
Unsure of doing this? then use your warranty and pay for towing. Agree as others, don't ride if its sticking as bad as you say.

Yea thats wht im probably gunna have to do hahah cuz i have to get it safety tested anyway lmfao
Yeaa i highly doubt there is another problem and when i asked him how it stuck the first time they said maybe u went into where the cable is and messed around with it, like wth? Even tho its covered in warranty its just so much shipping it back there and then back to my house lol
What does "cable not in it's proper place" mean? Out of adjustment? Moved around or tangled with other cables?
I think we need to know what it feels like when you twist the grip in order to start diagnosing the problem. Can you describe whether you feel resistance or it spins freely?

They said that the cable dug into the throttle tube and fell off lol, and i asked them well when i dropped it off why not fix that aswell instead of just putting it back and they didnt really have an answer for that. Theres no resistance either u just pull the throttle and it stays in one spot and doesnt snap back.
