Start by disassembling the throttle housing and lubing the cables/throttle sleeve. Be sure you don't over tighten the return (idle) cable, as this will put a bind on the pull cable.

What Troll said.....I had that issue with my bike when I first started working on the needed repairs.....the return cable was really tight (no play at all in the throttle) Loosened it and all is well...plus some lube..
