It's kinda funny how some problems are described on this forum. I understand the issue here but had to sift through the description to determine such.

Case in point... Title says "revving" issue. That would indicate to me a problem with engine acceleration.

Then the description goes on to say the bike reaches redline too fast in any gear. To me, that seems to be a desired characteristic rather than a problem. Too much horsepower? Is there such a thing?

What do either of these have to do with an "idle speed" discrepancy that is the real issue?

Sorry. Allow me to apologize in advance. I just couldn't bite my tongue.
