You have the carbed version, correct? (I forget whether the UK in that gen offered a FI version) Did you have the choke on to start it? In my experience, if it is left on for even a few moments after the bike is underway, the idle speed goes higher than useful. Once the bikes wheels are moving, I was able to to turn the choke all the way back. But this was in a warm climate, and I imagine that in cooler climates some riders might have a use to keep the choke on slightly longer.
