Sounds like you have too much fuel at idle. As your bike warms up the idle goes up, it can only be that as there is always the same amount of air going inside the bike.

I would suggest only playing with the idle adjuster after the bike is completely warmed up. Idle RPM with a cold engine is what the choke is for (and should only be used if necessary).

IMO you have way too much air and fuel going into the bike at idle with 2 washer and no snorkle, maybe it's time for a proper jet kit ?
