OT:- Honda hornet 600 running problem
Ive offered to have a look at my mum's motorbike that has a running problem.
The problem is as follows:
It would not idle at all below 2500rpm so i have taken the carbs off and apart cleaned out the jets and put them back on the bike.
The engine starts on the choke and button, gets warm, nock the choke off and it will idle at about 1300rpm.
Now when you take it out on a run the revs never drop below 4000rpm, even if you stop the engine and start it agen the revs shoot up to 4000rpm.
I would have thought this is down to a fuel problem but some advice is welcome as i have never come accross this problem before.
I have not taken the top of the carbs apart yet as that is the next step but i cant understand why it revs so high as the throttle is fully closed.
What could stick open to cause this problem?
I havn't played with motorbike carbs before.

Is the throttle actually shutting? The inner cable can stick. As can the choke cable. Don't worry about it being a bike. Engines are engines and
carbs are carbs. They just look a bit different.

Bike throttle cables Stick so regularly that most bike garages have a neat little tool to oil them.
All it is, is a cople of blocks of ali that bolt together at the end of the outer sheath, encase the inner cable and then have a hole drilled through
for you to squirt WD down it.
It usually takes a couple of goes to fully clear it up, but since it will cost virtually nothing to do it, it's worth checking this first...
