Default New problem at lunch time. Idle way up???

I have a 99 Road King fuel injec w/ 13k miles. The motor is pretty much stock except for exhaust that has been on there for over 8k miles. Started the bike this morning and rode to work. Everything was fine. Just took it out to get some lunch and noticed the idle was up a little. Well when I came to the 1st stop light the idle is up to probably 3k rpm. I hit the gas a few times and it's still the same. I shut the bike down, let it sit for about 10min then started it up again and the same problem was still there. Shut it down again for about and hour and it's still there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Default Idle

Take the air cleaner off and check the idle stop screw. It is in a hole on the lower right side of the intake and takes a torx bit. My guess is it has vibrated loose and is now holding the throttle plate open.
