I put the new battery in my 2000 rsv mille r, started it up, turned choke down and the idel stayed high reving. I removed the side fairimg and discovered i was nlw very low on oil as well though the bike did nlt leak it out. Is it not circulating the oil? Is that a security issue that the bike wont idel down? Im very baffled, please help
Many bikes have CV (constant velocity) carbs, and so have an enriching valve and not really a choke. The enricher just adds more fuel to the mixture.
The high idle could be a vacuum leak at the base of the carburetor. You can check for a leak with a can of carburetor cleaner.
Start the bike up and spray a short burst of the cleaner at the base of the carburetor if you get a change in RPM or if it stalls that's the problem.
Good Luck

On the engine there is a tube that supplies fuel to the fuel injectors, on that tube there is a valve, like a metal tire valve, this is the fuel pressure test port, you will need a special guage to check the pressure that screws onto that valve, Kragen and other parts stores sell this test kit, it is very inexpensive, about $20.00, but cheaper than having a shop do it for you, if you do the test and you have no pressure while cranking the engine then your fuel pump is bad, the pump is in the gas tank, a big job and dangerous due to chance of fire if you are not cautious.

take some wd 40 & spray around the carb boot while running to see if the idle drops for a few seconds. sounds like you have an intake side air leak causing a lean condition making the motor rev high.
SOURCE: kick start is jammed
Put the bike in 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, the higher the better. Sit on the bike, with your hand off the clutch lever, and rock the bike back and forth to rotate the clutch hub. This might free up the lever. You will need to drain the oil and remove the right side casing to see and service the kick starter. If I recall correctly, there is a spring clip that allows the kick gear to engage the clutch hub. The piece could be broken, weak or out of position.
