I was making a turn, as a matter of fact. It jumped, and toppled over. I lifted it back up, and drove the remaining few block home,.. very carefully, I might add.
Even though I was making a turn when it started, it didn't stop after the turn.
As far as the throttle jumping back into place goes: This is a problem I've had since purchase; it does not jump all the way back on it's own. It goes back at a decent speed, if it's pulled back real far, but, after it gets close to the closed position, it starts going slow,... Then it stops, just before being all the way closed, and I have to move it the rest of the way with my wrist.
Since this is the bike I've learned on, I'm very use to this issue. It seems to me when riding, even though the snap back is nice to have, that it's pretty natural to move the throttle to it's start position just by turning my wrist back to it's original position.
Anyways, even though it has this problem, that's not what's causing the revving, I don't think.
I just went outside, and started the bike up. I just stood next to it, leaving it in neutral, of course. I put my hand on the throttle, and pulled it back just a very minute amount. It started revving, and just kept on going; up and up and up;
*vrrrrrrrRRrRrrrRRRRrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
And when I move the throttle back to it's regular position, the bike sounds normal; idling just fine.
I hope that's enough helpful information so that you all can help me get this thing running right. If more information is needed, or someone wants me to check something, and then tell them the results of the test, in order to narrow down the issue, just let me know!
I really really really appreciate the help, and definitely need this working soon so I can work. My boss is understanding, so I won't get fired, but no worky = no moneys,... And that doesn't make the wife happy,... nor does it make utility companies happy,...
Anyways, Thanks a ton!!

P.S. I think I have set my account to receive direct e-mails. So if someone wants to pick-up a more in depth dialogue with me, it can be done. I could even supply my phone number, if someone has the time & energy to help me with my bike's problems over the phone. It's a cell, so I can be at the bike as we talk.
Thanks again!!
By the way: Any help means a whole hell of a lot to me, and I want to make sure everyone knows that their help is appreciated an insanely large amount!! A million 'thank yous' to anyone, and everyone, for helping out all us new, ignorant, Venture riders, who're just getting into the motorcycle groove.
Thanks, once more, and my sincerest apologies if I'm thanking anyone to the point of annoyance.
