    hole in the inlet... shit reedblock not sealing correctly.. oil seals, base gasget cooked, tear in the vac/pump pipe... missing vac/pump pipe.

    spray around everywhere (EXCEPT the air filter) with wd40 as the bike is running... it WILL ether raise or drop the revs as you spray close to where its leaking from.

    could also be a blocked idle jet... well, partially, making the mix lean/raising the revs... check for stupid things like stuck throttle cable, slide jamming and so on

    loose the inlione filter... there allways more trouble than there worht. plus theres one in the fuel tank (part of the fuel tap) so absoloutly no need for it to be there
