revving by itself

Sounds like it is working correctly to me. To stop this behavior, which is hard on the clutch, you should learn to use the throttle while shifting so the engine will be speed matched when you let out the clutch.

that sounds right to me

Did you disconnect the battery for the install? 
Did you leave it in reverse?
Electronic
Gremlins man
Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. Take er out to the country and wind the Dog Snot out of it.
If it persists call ShopDog at BR-549.
