To answer my own question about a problem with a sticking throttle. It would not snap back when released.
I tried to oil the cable at first and this worked briefly but then it got sticky again. On the advice from a mate I removed the bar grip gave it a good clean and then sprayed some silicone on the handlebar and in the grip/throttle. This seems to have done the trick.
When I first looked inside the grip it looked very clean but it would seem that it was grease/dirt that was making it stick.
Might help someone with the same problem.
