there are usually two throttle cables on opens the throttle one closes it. If either cable is frayed they need replacing or lubrication.

1. Cables could be binding due to lack of lubrication
2. Cables could be binding because someone changed the way they were routed
3. Throttle return spring on the carb popped off or is damaged
4. Lack of proper attention since the bike was assembled at the factory and a small amount of each of these
you should remove the cables at the throttle and inspect them all along their length looking for any cuts or holes in the sheath. make sure they are taking the shortest route to the carbs. twist and release the bit on the carb that the two throttle cables attach to, with the cables detached from the hand grip, to make sure the spring snaps the throttle closed cleanly. twist the throttle grip to make sure it is not binding.
replace anything that is worn. buy a cable lubrication tool. lube (anything is better than dry, but a light oil will wear out quickly, better to use a lube designed for cables), replace and ride.
fix it soon, this a dangerous problem, especially if you have no idea what is wrong.

The return spring is either broken or removed. Remove your tank and follow the throttle cable to the throttle linkage and take a look. AND what the guy above said!

You really want to strip the throttle actuator on the hand-grip and look under your tank and locate the actuator on the carburettor.
Check these two places and finally look along the cable route for any kinks or obstructions that may restrict the movement of your cables!
If all is good, you need to buy some light oil or WD-40 and lube your lines.
you can also apply some light grease on your throttle actuator so it keeps it from drying out!

make sure your hand grip is not jammed up against the throttle housing,then check that the throttle cables are not kinked.check that the throttle linkage is free at the engine end. if none of those are the problem replace the cables

check the cables for free movement and chech the throttle return spings on the carb.

Most likely, it's:
Cable(s) need oiling
Cable(s) are kinked/bent at too severe an angle
Return spring on carb broken/worn out
