Default ERST Idling High

Hey all,

Just got maself a new rs, love it to bits. Only problem I have is its idling awful high? around 1500-2000 revs. I changed throttle sensor. any other ideas had this problem with my series 1 but cant remember how I fixed it It was lying around for 6 months maybe need a tune? although it runs sweet as a nut. Cheers to anyone who gives up some info

I would check silly stuff like a sticky throttle cable.
