lift your tank and remove the air box and you will see the adjusters near the carbs on the right hand side of the bike!!! You will probably need WD40 to free them up!!

The throttle return cable actually causes the throttle to stick open if you have it adjusted too tight, it should have a few mm play in it. It is the springs that are on the pulley wheel it goes to that make it return. The return cable is only there incase something sticks/jams; so you can force it shut by turning the throttle to the closed position. If the spring alone can't close the throttle then it's down to one of the following: poor cable adjustment, poorly lubricated/rusty/frayed cables or knackered spring (not very likely).

also check it's definitely the return cable and not the twistgrip jamming/rubbing on the bar weight. I was making adjustments and ended up with it rubbing and sticking there and only just noticed it before I was going to wade in to sort out the return cable.
