I've got it, on an 84 R100RT.
It's not the carb springs, nor the throttle cables, nor the throttle twist grip, nor, as far as I can tell, the cogs that mesh between the throttle twist grip and the chain that pulls the throttle cable.
Rather, as far as I can tell, it seems that the little "carrier" at the end of that chain is rubbing against the housing it rides in.
Thus, I feel the roughness when I pull the throttle open, and it doesn't snap closed - rather, it will rather leisurely close over the course of a second or so.
Anyone ever run into this? I am wondering if I could relieve the carrier and/or the housing with a dremel to cure the interference, if such it be, but I'm not 100% sure of my diagnosis. Seems a bit odd for a BMW - precision fit parts and all that.
Thanks folks - BrianK
