Does your throttle snap back when you open it (even without the engine running?)

Check your return cable isn't broken.

I wouldn't lube them imho....

Remove the cables and try turning the throttle bodies by hand and see the result.

I dont think you ever lube the cable - these are built for lube free use.

That's right Kev!! Don't grease or oil the cables!!!!

did some work guys and shes all good and very snappy throttle now which is good ,

thanks heaps for all your advice and help guys it was a sticky return cable it had some crap built up , pulled it out got some compressed air and blew out some crap and now i have a nice snappy throttle

seeing how the bike sat around for a few yrs theres a few things that are freeing up on the bike now
