So this douche bag worked on my bike and apparently messed with my throttle cable position, now like every two weeks i'm adjusting the throttle cables cause they get stuck in one position or another while i'm riding, very dangerous. Does this mean I need a NEW throttle cable? do throttle cables go out like clutch cables do? Is the constant adjusting a sign that a new cable is needed? i drive a 2005 zx6r with 25k miles on it. thanks!

Yes, you do have to replace them. I'd try lubing them first though. Sounds like they're not freely moving in the sleeves. You should also check to see it the lines are crimped anywhere, or have any damage.

yes, but first make sure they are routed properly, My throttle was sticking so i lubed it and found it was routed improperly and now it works like a charm.

I too would lube them up and check for kinks or bends..

Take a look at the throttle bodies too, While you work the throttle watch that there
working properly.
