I have an 05 gsxr 600, when I start it the rpms jump to 4000 for about 5 seconds then goes back to normale idle rpm. What could be causing this?
I checked and there are no intake leaks.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I cant remember.... does the 05 have a "choke" lever? or is it automatic. On the 06 up bikes it is automatic.

also, does the rpm hang when you rev the bike before dropping back to idle?

HUH?

My 03 600 had a choke lever........ and I thought the 750 was the same as the 600 01-03.

:dunno.... been to long ago now :lol

I am 100% positive my 03 had a fast idle lever :D. I adjusted it to act like a cruise control for some time :spit

Taken from http://www.gsxr-suzuki.info/gsxr-motorcycles/gsxr-1000-k1.html about halfway down the page

Engine and more torque
Perhaps most impressive about the 2001 Gsxr 1000's power dominance is that it came from an engine virtually identical to the Gsxr 750's and, according to most tuners, in a fairly mild state of tune.
Suzuki moto chose to use as much of the Gsxr 750 as possible, so the Gsxr 1000's bore increase was limited to 1 mm.
The rest of the boost to 988 cc would have to come from stroke, which traditionally benefits torque production more than an increase in peak power.
The Gsxr 1000's 59 mm stroke was the longest in the class in 2001. What's more, Suzuki moto had the audacity to use the Gsxr 750's cylinder head essentially unchanged.

Common wisdom was that valves ideal for a Gsxr 750 would be prohibitively small for a Gsxr 1000 k1. Even the intake system was borrowed straight from the Gsxr 750, with some minor changes and the requisite computer reprogramming.
The servo that controlled the secondary throttle body was now mounted right to the throttle-body rack, not remotely as before. This change would come to the Gsxr 750 in 2002 along with an extremely clever fast-idle system. Before, there had been a small lever on the handlebar to raise the idle speed for starting.

So to answer the OPs post, it is your fast idle, commonly refered to as a "choke"

It should not raise that high though, so it needs adjusting. Get a manual, and it is an easy fix :thumbup

Get a manual, there is a way to adjust the "choke" level as well.

It is not an electric choke.

It is a fast idle. All it does is turn a cam that opens the throttle slightly basically. There is a screw to adjust that cam.
