bike revving

[R P Corse]

bit of an issue and can't get my head round it.

every time i come to a stand still, the bike revs on its own to 3,000 rpm and the only way i can stop it doing this is if i slip the clutch a little at the lights to get it idling normally, it eventually revs back up to 3k again if stood longer.

she's due an oil change and i need to replace the rocker cover gasket, the throttle cables are like new and arent snagging on anything, choke cable is also fine

the only thing i can think of it being are the clutch springs causing clutch drag - but the bike doesn't pull at stand still with it in gear and clutch disengaged

...help

could be the carb rubbers leaking, spray some carb cleaner around where they join the head whilst running and see if the revs rise.

yup got it sorted now, carb inlets are perished/perishing, no biggy, nearly a 23yr old bike lol
