I had a sticking throttle on my '90 CBR. The linkage at the carbs was clean and snapped back immediately when the cables were disconnected. Then I disconnected the cables at the throttle housing and lubed them until it dripped from the linkage end, no binding or sticking there, either. Then I took the throttle housing off of the clip-on and found a nice thick layer of rust. Sanded the rust off, primed, painted, lubed, and reinstalled the throttle housing. Now it's like having a new throttle; no sticking.
