I've got a similar problem to you, as when I start the engine it idles away at 1500 then when I rev the engine up to 3000 - 4000 rpm it actually sticks at that level.

That sounds like the throttle is to tight , or sticking.
Throttle should have a few mm( i think 3mm) free play.
You can adjust the throttle free play on the 2 little plastic nuts coming out of your throttle hand.

Would it be possible that when the throttle is released the rev should come back down, the throttle does return / snap back as nrmal but the revs still are at 3000 rpm

sonds like it needs just a little adjustment- maybe at the throttle body end under the tank but try first at the top end adjusters-

just because the "tube" throttle returns does not mean it is releasing fully. it needs to be in sync.. tae the tank up and the air box off and look at the cable and throttle bodies and adjust until when closed it actually closes the throttle- its set too tight or is snagging.

sounds like a job to big for me, I'll try the top end adjustment first and see what happens.

Some news, I know found out that I was running with only 1 cylinder, and the ignition coil has to be replaced which has fixed the problem.
