:thumbup Strip cable off make funnel of oil leave overnight to soak down.But if it was me ,i would just buy a new cable.If you need to use the bike just take one end off and try work some oil in to losen it up until new cable comes.
This will only work if cable rusty tho,:biggrin

Very first thing to do is lift tank and spray the spindles/pulleys and linkages etc.with wd40 or similar, firly common thing for them to get sticky:thumbup

Is it a quick action throttle?

Reason I ask is it happened to me on my quick action throttle and there is a little grub screw on the back. A couple of drops of 3 in 1 did the trick.:eatcorn

No just a normal one on an 07, cheers for all the help
