My R1100GS has an intermittent sticky left hand (sat on the bike) throttle butterfly when hot ie in traffic normal riding it's ok,
they were refurbished by Scriminger three years ago.
Any ideas?
 
It may be the throttle cable fraying and catching on the inside of cable body

Do not spray anything into the cables.
 
New cables at the same time as the throttle bodies and it only sticks when it's hot in traffic or when it has been turned off for fuel and not every time.
I hate bikes.
 
Might have found the problem some wire wrapped around the pulley and general road crud so a good clean with switch cleaner both sides and some dry silicon lube i will give it a try when the new battery turns up.:nenau
I still hate bikes.
