If so and it's still doing that, is your throttle sticking? Like when it's at 2500 rpm and you manually push the throttle closed more?
Thanks for the reply.

I've had the bike for a year (it's a 2012), and never adjusted the idle from when I obtained it, as I never had this issue before, even last Winter. Possibly I should let it idle for a while and see if it happens without riding? Recalling from memory (bit of a fuzzy memory), I believe I've allowed it to idle for 10 minutes before going out, and it still starts off idling at ~1300, then increases after I've ridden.

I considered it could be the throttle sticking, but it appears to be fine, and that it returns to the normal position when I'm off the throttle. Perhaps I can see about adjusting it too.
