The engine running fast could be a weakening mixture.

Clean inside the airbox and check the filter.
Renew the fuel filter then clean and balance the carbs.

FZR's are old bikes, the rubber inlet manifolds are know to crack/perish therefore they leak air. Quick test get the bike to idle then spray carb cleaner around all 4 inlet rubber manifolds, if the engine speed increases (RPM's) you have just identified the cause.

I concur!..Sounds more like excess air leaking!
