This might sound crazy but check the spot on the carbs where the throttle cable connects and make sure nothing is holding it open. When I put my carbs on one of the screws on the the clamps that hold the carbs into the rubber holders caught mine and held it wide open so every time I started my bike it would rev to redline. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

I think i understand what your saying, I am new to bikes so I have the problem of making things make sense also because I am not sure what everything is so I have a hard time describing the stuff. Have you checked for vacuum leaks. That was one of my problems with high idle. Just take some carb spray and spray it around your intake and the little rubber tubes connecting the carbs to the motor.

Edit:Nvm I forgot your bike would rev to redline...hmm this is a tough one. I'm sure someone on here has the answer though.

check to make sure your throttle isn't bound or catching on anything.

When running turn the handle bars full each way and see if it revs higher or lower without touch the throttle. Pull on the throttle cable after the grip. If it does cange in anyway its bound on something.
