Just one thing: After stopping the bike the linkage returned to it's normal position? Before fixing it it looked like it was jammed?
I tell you why, mine seems to operate completely normal, both springs and linkage rod are in perfect condition and nothing seems to squeek or be at lista bit jammed...

Yes, the linkage itself was stuck, the throttle cable was fine (I bought a replacement but never needed to fit it). I spoke to Nelly, he suggested tweaking the white nylon adjustor nut on the linkaga near the rear cylinder, said sometimes it moves slightly and catches, and I also sprayed a ton of WD40 in thers at the springs etc and worked the throttle back and forward. In my it only stuck when it was more than half way open - either something was catching at full throttle opening, or the return springs/linkage were crudded up. Eventually it freed itself and hasn't been a problem since.
Good luck
