throttle cable probably needs re-greasing would be my 1st guess

I had a similar problem recently. After lifting the tank I discovered the nut securing the throttle return cable on the carb bank had become loose and the cable outer had unseated itself, so maybe the same thing's happened to yours.
And, as Bracechenko says, check the cables are lubricated.
