Ninja 500 throttle

I've been riding on my ninja for about a year and I feel like the throttle is horrible. I've tried it with a stock exhaust and my slip on. No difference. It feels like on the first 5-10% engagement of the throttle it's like and on and off switch. Like it's not progressive at all and it makes low speed annoying without the clutch because it just jerks forward and back whenever I slightly roll on/off the throttle. Any ideas on what it could be. It's been about a year since the last service so throttle cable might be the deal but this is something that's been going on for a year as well. It feels like almost a throttle map thing from factory, because I can get it really smooth just requires really fine control when compared to other bikes like my dads 125.

Thanks guys
