Bike running fast revs

@calum no idea why it was out it’s back in again do you have any tips to fit the carb rubber to the air box as I have a right shit time struggling to do it
@declan Oh dear.
Yes, take the air filter out.
Work from inside of the box outwards.
Use a soft spudger (dull flat edge NOT A SCREW DRIVER!!!!!) to prise the angle of it into the box.
Once you learn how to do it, it's easy.
Do not force it in. It will go in without hesitation once you have that technique down

@calum lol got it in pretty easy but it’s still revving to the moon no air leaks cable is 100% free safe to say I’m pretty clue less and pissed off
@declan If it was working fine before hand, then it's going to be something properly simple. Rushing isn't going to fix the problem.
My guess is that it's an air leak, because this is the most common type of problem.
The inlet manifold gasket should be renewed. As said previously, these are prone to failure upon renewal.
You said your inlet had a split in it, have you replaced the inlet? Sounds like it's past its best and I would renew it with a new one whilsy Yamaha still make them...

@calum your right it just has to be an air leak there’s no other explanation so if I use wd40 should I be looking for bubbles as rpm change will not be reliable
-
@declan The added WD-40 should be combustable, bringing the mixture down so the idle should drop.
It'll be something simple. It might be that the reeds are installed incorrectly. Too Much overlap at the end etc...
-
@calum checked before install they were a perfect fit and actuall were the same ones that were already in there
