Must be an electrical problem. You have throttle by wire, don't you? :s

Sensor was bad
The service manager said he could not duplicate the problem so I walked back in the shop and showed him

Be careful not to roll on the throttle when hitting the kill switch, this will reset the idle the next time you fire it up

Was that the problem Jack?

The sensor in the handle bar was bad

This is it
The tiny cog on the end would stick off idle
There must be a spring internally?

So far so good, Idle returns normal once again
I had to laugh as the NEW service manager had NO clue, and went so far as to blame ME for changing grips BHAAAAA some times I get er done right

Here is a cross hatch picture of the inside showing the spring
