Check your vent lines to see if you are dumping gas out of them with the bike running. My floats were out of adjustment and especially when I would pull the clutch in my bike would rev out of control. If this rings a bell then your floats could be out of adjustment or the needle valve could be clogged/damaged

 Wick500,
  I don't understand why you can't open the 500 forums,  sometimes I can't get logged on to the site, however when I do it is all open. :?  There are no restrictions or anything..
 
  You could start with the carb, make sure everything is cleaned up and working properly.
   Cables,Slide, fuel inlet needle is not boogered  and moves freely.   
I know what it's like to have  STC (Stuck Throttle Condition). :-o
     Like GDubb says, the float level,plugged vent lines, will run the carb bowl empty (after that WOT run) and the engine will go into a lean run away condition.
    I have also seen fuel petcocks get plugged and restrict the fuel.
 Check that out and let us know what you find and we'll go from there.

Everything is working on this end.  There are a 2 restrictions, pictures, for sale section but not after 10 postings.

  Thanks Danger,
 I can go for three weeks and not have a problem, then I can't get logged on from one to  three days.  Then Bing! works great.  Probably the state of the art middle of nowhere IP server we have.
