If it's what I'm thinking, it's your idle. Start with a couple of turns out.

If it is your idle screw then don't guess where to start, BE SAFE!

Pull the air filter off and look into the carb. Back the screw off until the slide is all the way down. Put the bike on a stand (you need atleast the rear wheels off the ground for safety). Start it up and feather the throttle while turning the screw in until it will idle without your help.

I just heard of another incident the otherday where someone started one up and it took off on them. I hear of one a year seems like.

SAFETY FIRST!
