This is what happens when you talk about too many symptoms at the same time. I don't think THAT problem has anything to do with the choke.......but it still could. What I said was to get some SPRAY cleaner and spray the "choke" linkages, in and around the carb.
NOW it appears to me that your throttle mechanism is sticking somewhere. Could be the wheel, rod or throttle plate of the carb itself OR (more likely) the throttle cables or the twist grip. This can happen if there is not enough slack in the cable adjustments OR the cables are pinched or kinked somewhere OR they just need some lube OR the return spring is broken or badly stretched or missing.
To pin this down better: If the bike is just sitting at idle and you pull in the clutch, without touching the throttle, does the RPM go wild ?? I'm betting not and that it only happens when it WAS under throttle and you release the throttle to shift. If that is the case, you should be able to force it to slow down by twisting the throttle closed. If that doesn't work, the return cable may be broken and sticking.
