Throttle master screw, fixed it for me.

I didn't know about the fast idle either for the first 12 months.

At the other end of the throttle cable under the tank you should be able to see it on the right hand side after removeing side fairing. It looks like half a wheel as the cable nipple attaches to the body,there is an adjuster screw that point to the front of the bike that will increase or decrease the revs. 4D
