No, it's the oil reacting with the nylon, which is itself a product of oil, it makes the lining sticky and stiff. If they are new cables check they are correctly routed, as it certainly shouldn't be like that with new cables.

Green1:
Agree with Hairy again  :o don't lube cables.
Cable route is the most likely cause or even the throttle lock screw on the right hand switch

Rob62:
They are new gen Honda, the routing looks ok although they do bend slightly as they pass the coils and attach to the carbs.... i had them on and off a dozen times when i was rebuilding her, until i was satisfied... will have another look tomorrow. Cheers.

Rob62:
You might be onto something there G1... the stiffness did seem to be at the throttle grip end come to think of it.... ill be all over it tomorrow morning  ;)

Green1:
I have spent ages trying to lighten the throttle on my 550 it weighs a ton at 3/4 throttle.
I have now come to the conclusion it must be the return spring so just going to live with it now. But what I cant work out is why it goes light again past 3/4
