Rev Counter Pulsing to 9k rpm

[ajhutchinson]

Hi all just tried to start the bike after its winter lay up.  Tried to start it and all I got was the starter relay chattering and the Rev Counter going from zero to 9k and back again, have seen this before but only to 7k and this beening the exup valve. 

Any idea what the 9k means??????????

thanks for reading..
