Sticking Throttle I have an 05 Thruxton - went out for a ride yesterday and noticed that the throttle was sticking. Started out with just barely noticing it, but after an hour or so it was sticking bad - to the point that I needed to turn the throttle grip manually everytime I wanted less gas. Anyone have this issue or know how to fix?
Two further possibilities: the cable itself is frayed, or grit and dirt have got in and are preventing the cable from sliding within the lining. If it's either of these cases, I think you'll need a new cable

code p 2104 refers to throttle actuator control(TAC) system--forced idle mode===causes ---wiring--TAC motor--ALL sensor--ECM
codes p 2111 refers to throttle actuator control (TAC) system--actuator stuck open====causes --throttle body--throttle valve tight tight/ sticking
also refers to TAC system --circuit malfunction=== causes wiring short to positive ---short to ground ---TP sensor ---ECM
also refers to brake vacuum---implausible signal====causes ---wiring--- vacuum sensor--- mechanical fault
Might be a throttle cable sticking. I would disconnect, from the throttle and drop some synthetic oil down the cable after finding some way to straighten it up and allow the oil to flow through the cable. It is an overnight operation and might actually take several applications.
As for the backfiring, I would question if you have carbs or fuel injections. If the later, you might be leaving your throttle open slightly and giving the bike fuel which pops off while changing gears.
A sticking throttle is not something to mess with if you don't know what you are doing. You could accelerate and cause a wreck injuring or killing someone. Take it to a professional and live long to ride longer.
This sounds like the throttle spindle sticking, or the cable sticking, if you remove the top cover and air filter, then push the throttle spindlefully back to the stop screw with your finger, then try again, the spindle may be a little gummed up.
I would suspect that the float is sticking. Checking will require removal of (in order): seat, tank, air filter box/backing plate, and finally, the float bowl at the bottom of the carb. Insure that the float is not flooded, and that the float needle is free of trash.
Sounds like a throttle position sensor sticking in a very dangerous position. The throttle position sensor does exactly what it sounds like. Senses the throttle position and sends it to the injectors, if the position sensor is sticking open it is a very dangerous situation. Get your vehicle to a mechanic and have them scan the check engine light and besure that is the issue before going any further, but that is your most likely answer, Good Luck!
Your cruise on? Or grip slid to close to bar end... Loosen bolts and slide to right a LIL and see... Did ya lay the bike down ? Check throttle cable ....
Find where the throttle cable connects to the butterfly valve on your carb. Twist the throttle and see if the butterfly valve is sticking open. Your cable or the valve itself might be stuck, and needs lubed. The sell tools to shoot compressed oil into the throttle cable sleve, or start cleaning / oiling hte carb depending on what you determine is sticking.
