The idle on my SXR700 has jumped to around 3500 rpm's.
Any ideas where I should start.
Thanks

Start in the carbs. Make sure they are clean.
Ok
Should I disconnect them and spray them with MOOVIT or something?

3500 is quite high. I'm not sure that a dirty carb would create that increase. You might have to pull the carbs as Stein suggested but maybe take a look at your cables first. Check that there is about 2mm free play at the throttle lever.

Check for air leaks between the carb and motor. Possibly a cracked carb boot. Don't ride it until you find the problem as you could burn it down.
Thanks for all the info.
I guess I will look at everything.
I don't want to blow it up!!

Since I don't know too much about snowmobiles
Will checking the plugs point me in the right direction or at least eliminate some of the possible problems

If you don't want to blow it up,take the sled to a dealer or mechanic. Have them remove , disassemble and clean the carbs. Set the idle and free play on the throttle and choke. If you would like to learn how to do this check the FAQ or Tech area. There are step by step instructions on how to do this. Not too bad when you've done it a couple times. A little daunting the first time tho.
