You haven't got an air filter fitted? No air filter may make the engine idle ever so slightly higher but you are more likely to get a stone or some dirt sucked in to your engine if you run your bike without one. If you are getting a high idle then make sure that there is some freeplay in your throttle then adjust the idle speed using the screw on the side of your carburettor.
Hi sorry its been a while, still haven't got it sorted. I have checked the throttle and i have emptied the tank and put new fresh petrol in to it. Any other ideas? As soon as high i turn the bike on it hits about 5000 rpm. I have not left it for longer than 5 seconds because it might damage the bike. So when i start it i have to quickly change the choke and use a little bit of throttle so that the bike doesn't die. Need to get this sorted for when i take it for a MOT. Its also a pain early in the morning when its cold.
Thanks a lot to everyone's replies and sorry its been a while.
