It sounds to me like the throttle linkage is binding somewhere. I'd suggest checking to make sure that the screws for the clamps that hold the carbs into the manifolds aren't catching on the throttle linkage and causing it to bind.

I just dealt with this exact same thing on my bike not more than an hour 1/2 ago. The throttle grip itself acuated smoothly, but the screw in the clamp for the #2 manifold was preventing the throttle linkage from returning to the fully "closed" position = Vrooooooooom! :ohmy:
