Might be the air filter, did Tut not describe a similar problem recently.

Take the air filter out and clean it if you can, if it looks dirty get a new one.

And

to SE.

If you dare! Beware the trolls!

We are much nicer here

also check that the throttle moves correctly, might be a knackered throttle lever. Dunno about whistling tho.

Do you have any mods? Induction kit could do some funny things if its dirty. Quick to fix though.
