My throttle on my bike is sticking, like if i pull the throttle back it willgo really slow back to its normal position. I took it off to check what was wrong and couldnt see anything wrong.
I plan on riding tomorrow so if you guys could help me fast it would be well appreciated.

Don't ride it like that.

Maybe you got glue on the bar. Maybe dirt got in there. Maybe there's something hanging up in the throttle pull assembly, maybe the cable is kinked, maybe the slide is rubbing... Or more.

Get that fixed before you ride that bike. We don't want to see a post from you in a few days saying, "Hey, guys, I've got six to eight weeks to figure out why my throttle stuck..."

First thing you can do is pull the throttole tube off pull apart the throttle assembley and make sure all the components are clean and lubed. when you have the assembly apart, pull your throttle cable and see if it is the cable sticking. If the cable sticks when you pull it when its off the throttle assembly, then replacing the cable might be a good idea. I take my cable off and spary cleaner down the cable casing to clean it, then spray silicone spray in the casing to lube that cable up.

Make sure you clean the inside of your throottle tube and lube the assmbly (wheel, cable, and tube) with silicone spray and it should wrok fine or even better than before.

Also, make sure the end of the throttle tube isnt chipped away, if it is, it's likely the grip is sticking to the end of the handle bar as you are turning it.
