zx-14 weird idle...

my zx is acting weird with the idle (I have 244 miles on it as of today)
There has been a few time when I pulled over at a red light and it's idling at 1700rpm without my hand on the throtle... I usually rev it and it falls back down to 1k-1.1k...
1 day got stuck at 2.2krpm and had to pull over to adjust the idle manually..

dunno if any of you have experienced this... may just have to take to to the dealer?

The next time that happens, play around with the throttle cable itself, not the throttle handle. If you can jiggle it around and the idle falls, sounds like the cable is getting hung up somewhere?
