Increasing rpm in 1st GEAR

[Anonymous]

1980 gs850g after riding for awhile my rpm increases to about 4-5k when I'am stopped with bike in 1st gear, clutch disengaged I'll adjust the idle screw everytime I stop but rpm keeps climbing up. I'am using individual pods and 4 into 1 exhaust w/o baffles. WHERE SHUULD I LOOK TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? do I need to sync my carbs?

FIrst make sure the throdle cables are adjusted with the proper play & the choke cable. Check the intake boots for leaks Replace the O rings if they have not been replaced

Most likely the manifold o-rings.
As Lynn said, check the cables first. Also the manifold clamps. If you replace the o-rings, apply some hi-temp' bearing grease to them and torque to about 6 ft/lb.
To test for intake leak(s), warm up the bike first. Spray a fine mist of water on the manifold boots and listen for the rpm's to drop a moment.
This test doesn't always expose the leak because it can be hard to get the mist to completely reach every part of the manifolds.

INCREASING RPM

I think that I've found the problem earlier in the day I had installed new after market hand grips, the trottle grip snapped back when first installed ,today I noticed that it slowly rolled back, Cable has a slight kink at the trottle and I have broken plastic under the grip (it was there before), I'll smooth out the kink trim some of the broken plastic and lude under the grip.
