Revs go high in neutral

[Plus Life EV]

hey everyone

Im still learning so forgive my ignorance!

basically after a short ride, when I put the bike (er6n 2012) into neutral the revs started climbing high, 4-5k before i switched the engine off.

I turned it back on and the revs went down to normal (1k ish). When I blipped the throttle it shot up to 3k and began climbing again and would not go down.

When i switched the engine on and went into first straight away it was fine, until I put it into neutral and it flew up again, without blipping the throttle.

The throttle isn't stuck or anything, its smooth and open/shuts ok. And I dont think the idle speed needs adjusting because at first it stayed at normal range. I don't know.

Any advice would be appreciated. I'd like to attempt the fix myself, but if its too serious itll just have to get to a shop.

cheers

Nevermind I solved it, the throttle closing bit (no idea what its called) wasn't closing by about 2mm. bit of lubricant and I should be ok. Looks a bit corroded from the winter, didnt think to ac-50 up there tbh.

You'll want to be sure rather than hope; sit on the bike with the engine running, in neutral, and turn the bars from full lock to full lock to ensure the cable isn't snagged (revs rise then you've got a routing problem).

Photo of the rusted area? If you can't be sure when the throttle cable was last lubricated and it looks funky then its probably time to get the manual out and see if its something you can do.
