Hi , just fired up my 2003 gsa after being stood for a while and the throttle sticks once I give it some revs ... any clues before I start stripping thngs down ?

thanks , Steve

Sounds like your cable junction wheel under the battery box is probably seizing on it's shaft. - well mine did and it's not funny when riding.

Do a search on replacing throttle cables as this fix is well documented.

Fiddly job but you will feel the difference.

I replaced all the cables at the same time, but messed up my TB's balancing.

Try the easy things first, slacken the bar end weight as they can sometimes touch the rubber grip and make the throttle stick.
Good luck.

Check the twistgrip

If it is the twistgrip sticking, this problem has been done to death before.

If it is the twistgrip, loosen the 2 screws clamping it into the bars, & move the twistgrip in aroudn 0.5 - 1mm. Retighten screws & job done.
