HIGH REVVING GS1150

[ron w]

I HAVE JUST STARTED MY 01 GS1150 AFTER 5 OR 6 WEEKS PARKED UP. WITH OPTIMATE ATTACHED. THE BIKE STARTED 2nd TIME AND THEN REVVED TO ABOUT 6,000 revs AND STAYED THERE. APPLYING THE CHOKE INCREASED THE REVS, BUT TURNING CHOKE OFF HAD NO EFFECT. THE ONLY THING I HAVE DONE RECENTLY IS FIT CRASH BARS. I LEFT THE BIKE FOR A HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN. SAME THING. CHECKED UNDER TANK AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AMISS. ANY IDEAS?

First thoughts............

Check throttle action. Any cables pinched under tank.

MANY THANKS BOXER PROBLEM SORTED. I WAS LOOKING FOR ENGINE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF CHECKING BASICS FIRST. OFF FOR A RIDE.

Great! Next check your keyboard. It appears to have a stuck caps-lock
