Hi, I'vm new to this forum and would welcome some advice/ help on the following issue.
I have a 2004 Fazer 1000 with 20k on the clock and live in the Costa Blanca region of Spain.
A couple of months ago I started having problems with increased idling revs with the throttle off. This would occur after about an hour of riding - the revs would only drop to around 2.5k with a closed throttle - which affected changing gear and mak engine braking at slower speeds difficult. When coming to a stop I could get the revs down to the correct idling level if I let the clutcn out briefly, moved forward slightly and then dabbed the front brake. The issue would then return again once moving.
If I stopped for fuel the issue disappeared for a bit then returned again after about 10 mins of riding. I had the plugs, air filter, chain/sprockets and lubricants changed recently and the problem seemed to have been sorted. However, I went out for a long ride this week and the issue has returned ?
I assume it's a heat related issue...maybe the TPS but I'm only no expert and only guessing, so would welcome any opinions or thoughts on this issue. Many thanks.

Old tried and tested models get discontinued, such is life.
If the info helps anyone, I got these tyres and they are very nice - good grip, good handling:
Metzeler
SPORTEC™ M9 RR
Front 110/70 ZR 17 M/C 54W TL
Rear 160/60 ZR 17 M/C (69W) TL
Metzeler website page for the model:
https://www.metzeler.com/en-ww/catalogue...onId=37917
Roads in Serbia are not very grippy, so tyres like these last for a long time (don't get to wear out too quickly) and it's usually best to look for the most grippy compound available.
Not sure about other countries, or for heavier bikes and loads, but this is what works for me.
