Hi I have a V-Star 1100 and I am having some issues with it. When I am cruising and I pull the clutch in to shift, the rpms don't come down, it is revving way too high. I have been having to let the clutch out slow to bring the rpms down to normal. This even happens when I down shift all the way to 1st. When I am at a red light my bike sounds like as if I have the throttle wide open. After about 5 seconds or so it goes down to normal.

The throttle is not sticky at all. Any ideas? Is there a nut that could be too tight? Could there be a vaccum leak? Anyone have this happen to them?
