Re: Sticky throttle
Tank Up, airbox off and you will see the adjusters for the throttle cable on the RHS. Determine which is the return cable when you twist the throttle and then just slacken this off marginally. It won't take a lot. Whilst you are there might be a good idea to grease the cables, they do get dry which could also be causing it to stick.

Re: Sticky throttle
I would recommend that you lubricate the cables, no real reason to slacken anything if they are properly adjusted already.

Re: Sticky throttle
Just also check the end of the grip isnt rubbing against the bar-end weight
