Default throttle sticking?

This is something that i sort of noticed at the end of last season, but i got the bike out yesterday and started her up, and the throttle seems to be getting worse. is there any ideas out there to fix this?

Lube the throttle assembly or maybe the cables. Is it possible you got cables in a bind slightly some how?

Have you had your bike strapped down or is there any other possibility that the grips could have been pushed in farther that they should be? I knowwhen I usemy Canyon Dancer straps to tie my bike down, sometimes the grips get pushed in and it causes the throttle to want to stick or have a slow"snap back".This might be another option to solve the problem along with the cable/throttle assembly lubing that Ruftags suggested...

The throttle definitely needs to be lubricated! This can be a serious problem. You don't want to be riding and have ot get stuck!

either lube your throttle cable or check your bar ends for not being too tight.
