My throttle slide is sticking. Every time the throttle cap happens i open the top of the carb and the slide wont move and needs to be gently pried out with a screwdriver. after its removed it slides just fine until i take it out for a 10-15min minute ride. I noticed it had a very slight amount of play.
I was having that trouble last year. It seemed like every day or so it would get stuck. Not stuck like a fingerprint, stuck like some grit was between the slide and the body. Cleaned out everything, airbox, rubber duckies, and tubes leading to the carb. No joy. So I started using injector cleaner in the gas, and as long as I kept using it, it didn't stick.
Started with an ounce per tankful and weened it to 1/2 ounce. Haven't used it for a couple of months.

If your bike is stock ,your carb may be running lean for your elevation, that would cause it to run hot.

Your battery should not be getting hot to touch after a ride. Yes, the battery heats up while charging, but the little airflow across the battery would dissipate the minimal heat generated.
Uhm, my whole engine heats up after a ride. The battery storage is hot to the touch.

within a half hour, your battery should be fully charged and minimal current running thru it.
if you're only riding 10/15 minutes, yeah it's going to be warm/hot and it's not fully charged.
I'd check the voltage while you're on the go. if it's over 14v you got problems.

Ill try that injector cleaner. To be clear it is stuck closed or at least mostly closed. The engine will rev to high rpm the bike just doesn't move any faster and i mean it doesnt move faster at all. If i get the slide unstuck then both the slide and the bike move as it should until i take it out again. The needle doesnt seem bent and slides into the hole as it should. would bad gas do this? My voltage shows about 13.2 volts while running.

Life should not take you smoothly to your grave in a well preserved body, life should make you come screeching in sideways saying "Holy Sh*t! What a ride."

It is 13,5 volts when idling. 13,85 or something after riding for a while with lights on.
The box gets hot after bike has been turned off. Just heat creeping in during cool off period. Temperature is about 45 celsius max.
