So I changed the oil and oil filter today. Turned out to be rather easy.
I started my bike today, but due to the rain, I did not ride.
After full choke for 5 minutes, it went down to about 3500 on idle. Adjusted idle to about 1500. The throttle response is way better than last week. When applying throttle, it goes up and down pretty good, it doesn't stay up and slowly go down. I don't know if it is back to normal yet. I will ride it when I get back.

Anyone have any explanation on what happened?
If all is back to normal when I get home, do I still need to take it in for carb cleaning?

Thanks everyone for reading and responding.
I also appreciate the support for the troops.
