What if a 10 second check could keep you from getting hurt?
When you work on your bike and have the gas tank off or anything to do with the handle bars or nearby parts take 10 seconds to do this check. Move your bars from stop to stop while checking that the throttle has a no bind solid return to it's idle stop. Also check that the clutch cable/hose and brake hose is not pulled tight during the same range of movement and the brake hose is routed correctly per your service manual.
This is also a good check after a crash where your throttle tube could have been moved or damaged during the crash.

Stay greasy my friends
