Fuel and air.

When you "open" throttle grip, you're pulling a cable, that opens a butterfly valve in the carburetor (depending on the type of carburetor). As the butterfly valve is opened, more air is allowed to be pulled into the cylinder which creates a vacuum that sucks more gasoline into the engine
