There's a thread over on the DOHC forum about this. The carb bank was re-assembled just slightly skew, not enough for the throttle plates to bind when cold, but they would when the engine was hot.

The guy just relaxed the screws and retightened and the problem went away.

My thoughts exactly.

Oh, and don't take your bike to THAT Dealer... Intake valve sticking when hot causing fast idle?!?
