Not sure the year of your bike, but High reving on an EFI bike is usually the IAC. You can limp it hom by shutting her down, pulling the two fuses on the right side, or disconnecting the battery for about 30 min, and resynch the ECM. Simple fix but a pain to figure out the first time.

I thought a failed IAC was the cause of low idle, not high, no? My understanding is the IAC opens when the throttle is closed and lets air in so the engine can idle because with the throttle closed, the throttle body butterfly valve is closed.

Just clean your IAC with spray cleaner
