Throttle sticking

Hello everyone! Never posted nor joined a forum before so not sure how this all works, but I have a 2022 indian ftr 1200 base model, I am having issues with the throttle sticking at the very end of the throttle travel, so if I cut throttle and don't manually roll forward on the throttle it will sometimes idle at about 200 rpm higher than it's supposed to, if I move the throttle forward manually it will move the tiniest amount then return to normal idle, has scared me a few times coming into a corner and the extra 200 rpm will not allow the bike to engine brake, I've removed the bar end mirrors, made sure my grip has play on the bar, and none of that has solved the issue, I used a dry lubricant to angle into the sealed throttle assembly and that seemed to fix the issue for about 150 miles of riding but then it started happening again, any advice or tricks to opening the throttle assembly would be greatly appreciated!

did you use the dry lubricant between the throttle tube and the bar end? That’s where friction/stiction could be.

Remove the throttle assembly, clean the end of the bar, and wipe it dry. Clean the inside of the throttle tube. Poor some dry lube/powdered graphite on the bar, and reinstall the throttle assembly.
