Throttle return spring broke?

[G40rce1]

So I was doing some minor work on FTR and it tipped over (seems to happen easily with low lean angle on kick-stand, 2019 model)....anyway after a few choice curse words I picked it up and damage was minimal, light scratches on exhaust, and end-bar....but later noticed that the throttle does not return after juicing it. Could the fall have damaged the return spring? Since the housing is sealed, there doesn't seem to be a way to check/adjust it. Any ideas? ....haven't yet ridden since, but it's gonna suck till I get that resolved.

Thanks in advance, Gary

Check your bar end and throttle grip clearance.

^^ what he said, also check if the bar is still straight.

Well, I was a little confused how the bar ends affected the throttle tension, because I know they worked fine even without the bar ends installed. I recently added bar-end mirrors, which also took a little damage, so had them off to file down/paint to cover damage. So did some more tinkering, loosened the throttle housing, slid back/forth, re-installed bar ends, and now throttle springs back fine....thanks for the help!

That ridiculous side stand is possibly the first alteration above any other. Absolutely beyond me why it's like that.

I think the floor in the engineering department isn't level...

It was definitely worth the money to my peace of mind to swap the ‘22 stand on.

I cut 3/8” out of my kickstand and wish I’d have taken a little more
