I have been experiencing a sticky throttle every now and then. It runs great, just once and a while the throttle will stick at WOT , depending in the situation it can be pretty F'n scary, enough to have to pull the seat material out of my ass cheeks LOL. Where should I start?

Check the throttle linkage for binding, inspect the throttle body, and make sure your floor mats aren't causing it.

Motor only has about 800 miles on it. Everything was cleaned before assembly. I was just checking out the throttle cable at the TB and it seems to have a little slack in it. Stretched out?
