No. The bike started popping out of third gear and rather than be without wheels while it gets repaired under warranty I traded it in. Aluminum manifold is on my workbench, waiting for the plastic manifold on the new bike to warp. Should only be month or so when it gets hot out and I'm sitting in traffic...

Try this:
To reset your idle setting back turn the ignition switch on for 10 seconds off for 10 seconds (do not start the engine), repeat a total of 4 times. That should reset your original throttle position. The tech who was working on your bike may have shut it off with the kill switch while it was idling a little high.
Other than that you may want to check all your throttle by wire connections.

that's what I have always done as well..along with always starting and stopping in neutral with clutch in...muscle / brain memory habit from long ago..think the Owners Manual speaks to the correct order of this kind of stuff too

Edit: curious person that I am looked under Operation: Starting>Controls>Ignition>Right Hand Controls
"Press the engine OFF/RUN switch to off (2) to shut off the engine."
that's all it says so no right or wrong order of stopping engine..since I've been killing the engine with the Run Switch first forever and haven't worn one out no need to bother changing..benefit of using the ingition switch to shut down first is so you don't forget to turn it off
