Check the throttle and choke cable(s) for free operation. If no problem there, then I'd run some carb cleaner through a couple of tank fulls. Gumout or Berryman's B12 are good; look for something that says "carb cleaner", not injector and not multi-purpose. The idle speed normally increases a bit after it is thoroughly warmed up.
A 3 year old bike with only 2K miles probably sat idle for long periods of time. That's hard on a battery if not kept fully charged. I think you should just replace. Alas, they are expensive......~$80-90 !!
