Motorbike throttle stiff, does not return to 0?

Question:
Hi
My motorbike just blew over in strong winds, i picked it up and drove it around to another side of the car park (more protected from the wind) but noticed the throttle was very hard to apply as twisting it took a fair bit of effort and it refused to automatically return to 0 upon letting it go.
Any ideas what this could be or how to rectify it without paying £70 to have it looked at by a mechanic

Your throttle (right handgrip) is pushed up too tight on the handlebar. Just loosen the two screws holding the throttle assembly together and pull it back on the bar 1/8" and then tighten the screws back up.

Check for something to be bent or out of alignment. Since it was blown over by wind, I believe that will be the obvious problem.

I am sure the bike fell on the right side, the throttle grip probably got bent...look carefully, you might need to straighten it out and pull it out a lil bit, I am sure that is the problem.

Please use extreme caution in riding the bike in this condition. A sticking throttle can be very dangerous. As previous posters stated, something is bound up, bent, or broken.

--If moving the handlebar switch to the right doesn't make any difference -
--Remove the switch completely
--Remove the throttle cables from the throttle pipe (hand grip)
--Spin the throttle pipe on the handle bars (grab it with a couple of fingers and whip it so the pipe spins fast).
--Any binding - figure out why. Throttle pipe damaged, handlebars bent or end of handlebars is crushed or "mushroomed". If the end of the bars is the problem, repair it by filing the damaged parts.

The throttle housing needs to be moved a little toward the end of the handle bar,This will allow it to return correctly.
