I am having trouble with the engine, the bike was still turned on when I picked it up but would not come on when I turned the ignition on when I got home, I left it and this morning changed the fuse which has fixed it.
The bike kicks over no problems however it is revving out to about 6000 rpm and holding there, you can take it down to about 2000rpm (just above idle) by bringing on the choke and then taking it back off, It will then sit at that rpm for a while before revving out to 6000 again where you can do the choke again, any ideas ?
I thought it might have something to do with the choke as that handle bar was twisted well forward and might have stretched the choke but Ive moved it back and its still doing it, HELP APPRECIATED!!!

Airleak...is my gues , if by using the choke it stops it revving ..
check around the carbs with ( well I use brake clean , the engine note will change when injested

Under the tank I found the carb cable to be stretched out of place, put it back in and she purrs now
