how to adjust the idle speed for 2009 ultra classic
#4
You didn't say if it was idling too high or too low. If you don't have a tuner that can adjust it or don't want to spend the money on one, you can have a dealer do it. They won't adjust it below a certain rpm. Too low and you take a chance of dropping your oil pressure too much.

Promise not to complain about the bottom end of your engine is shot due lack of oil pressure or your battery not staying charged if there is a lot of idling going on. I don't think you can ever make a twin cam sound like an old shovelhead. My 02 carbed 95" with cams will idle down to just under 1000 rpm and has a nice sound but I won't go lower, my wallet isn't that deep. Good luck.

Manually? no
Like most modern FI systems the idle is set by the ECM
Most tuner software will let you set it to some extent....
But you need to keep oil moving through it at idle to help cool it, reducing the idle is not your friend.
