As the Dude says, warm the bike up fully then adjust the idle on the manual screw on the left side of the bike for starters.
With the ignition switched on (not started) unplug the TPS then plug it back in.
Once unplugged you should immediately get a 3000rpm reading on the clock, but when you plug it back in if all's well it should go to 5000rpm.
If it goes to 0rpm or 10,000rpm then undo the TPS screws and physically move it until you hit 5000rpm.
If the needle won't move then you have an iffy TPS.
To be honest if it jumps that high on revs i'd be thinking more about an air leak somewhere.
A carb balance works wonders on these bikes, but a fully functioning TPS and a clean air filter are a must before even considering tampering with the carbs.
