I will check the idle mixture screw. What is a proper float height?
**Just took it for another quick ride and when it started to idle high I stopped and pulled in the clutch almost to the point of letting the bike stall out. I tried it a couple of times and it went back down to regular idle.

There is a way to check the float height with the carbs on the bike using clear tubing, but I've not done it. Usually you do it with the carbs off.
Take the air filter out and reach inside the airbox. Lift the slides with your finger and let them drop - do they rise and fall smoothly? Does the throttle snap back quickly and firmly when you release it?
Set the idle mixture screws 2 1/2 turns out, slightly more in cold weather.
