I have a 2003 CRF450 that i am having some issues with. Bike sat for 2years and i cleaned the carb and jets after doing so i noticed that the throttle was sticking! the gas was drained out wile sitting! Bike starts up with one kick and rides great just the throttle is not springing back. does anyone knows how to fix this?

Make sure there is slack in the throttle itself , it should move slightly in/out , and have movement before the cable moves (free play) it should have the play even with the bars turned all the way in either direction , most likely when you re-assembled the carb , you did not set the cable that adjusts the free play properly at the carb (one is just tightened down to bottom out , the other has a lock nut and this is where you adjust the free play) , loosen the lock nut and turn the set crew in or out a bit and try the throttle again , keep adjusting one way or the other till the throttle "snaps" back , then set the lock nut and you should be good to go
