I flipped my 07 M1000 on its side today when i hit a hard drift, landed kinda hard on the throttle side of the bars. Took along time to get it started again, now it idles at about 3400 rpm!?!?! what could the problem be? it doesn't look like the throttle cable got pulled or anything like that, any suggestions?

The hard starting was probably due to the idle validation switch being jambed with snow. The high idle could be from ice and snow being packed into your cable or between the flipper and the rest. Have you looked at the throttle bodies to see if you have any loose cable? You should be able to push the cable sideways just a little without it moving the throttle plates.

Check to see if your carb(s) slipped out of the engine boot(s). Happened to me on my 7, caused high ideal and obviously ran lean. At first glance it wasn't that apparent. Good way to blow an engine. Keep us posted on what you find. Good luck.

Check your throttle cable its probably just pulled tight somewhere. I found that after I added a riser that my idle was a little high due to the way my cable was roughted.

check in the throttle cable housing on the handlebar. the cable probably came out of adjustment in there, happend to me a couple times.
