Squeeky Throttle Twist

[Loanstar]

Hey,

Last night when I pulled into my driveway, my beast decided to idle at around 2000 rpm for about 5 seconds before returning to normal. I ride a 2009 R3 and from what I've read, I should be clear of the idle problem that sounds familiar to some earlier bikes. I noticed that my throttle twist is quite squeeky. What can I use to lubricate this? Just some graphite or something?

I've been caught in the rain a couple of times and I figure I should probably lubricate this once in a while.

Thanks!
Paul

I bought a new one because the old one was loose on the bars,filled it with grease and its been good for 18 months.
