    Yes Arthur well I've changed throttle bodies so that's the iacv sensor and tps swapped next up is to replace the throttle boddie adapter plates as 1 side split then put back together check for air leaks and then replace air sensor on top of air box and also map sensor
    See were I go from there

    ok chaps
    not good news
    took her for a 100 mile shakedown test yeaterday and the problem still exists still idling at 1.5k and sometimes rising to 2k the odd occasion very odd ocasion at 1.3k so to recap ive replaced throttle bodie adapters and fitted new o rings, replaced whole air box which swaps iat sensor and map sensor fitted different throttle bodies which replaces icav and tps sensor fitted 4 new plugs lubed throttle cables triple checked all fitted correctly ensured no kinked hoses
    I am well pissed off to say the least thinking I'm going to have to get some professional help in to sort it or ill just chuck a cover on her and leave her to rot in the corner of the garage

    Does the Fi warning light come on in the dash when the bike starts idling faster than normal?
    Have you tried retrieving any fault codes from ecu? (I'm sure I have read the side stand needs to be down in order to retrieve stored codes!)

    Not sure how Honda bikes make use of the coolant temp sensor, would need to look at service wiring diagram to see if the ecu uses the feeds for cold starts or if it only uses it to turn the rad fans on and off!

    I know cars defo make use of the temp switch to determine how hot the engine is and adjusts fueling accordingly, faulty switch can cause cars to fast idle due to intermittent switch fluctuations and failures at specific temps!

    Everything on your already done list hits all the service book repair checklist points for fast idle issues!

    Ok quick update
    Have bike booked in with Honda so they can plug into there computer and do diagnostic checks and a full reset fingers crossed it will either identify problem or reset might cure it
