Default 2015 hd 48 - idling

I have a 2015 HD 48 with 200 miles on it. Just last week I installed Vance and Hines short shots, Performance Machine Air cleaner and re-mapped the ECU with Vance and Hines FP3, used their recommended map for my type of exhaust and high flow intake. For some reason I don't think the bike is idling right, it seems something is off, air or fuel???? (See video)

What does the HD forum think?

If you click on the link below, it will take you to my you tube page so click on the HD 48 video ... Unable to insert video by itself.

Links are not working. The bike has a tach, is it fluctuating.
Sportys have a 3 stage idle. Cold idle is around 1350, semi warm 1100, full warm 990-1050. Give or take a little on each stage.

Not sure why the links are not working. I tried few different ways to insert the you tube link in and still doesnt work...

Bike was cold at this point, it was aroud 1150...

Videos not working, but like Guzzi said, it could be that it is not warmed up.

More likely that it is not broken in yet, or needs an autotune run on it.

My idle will drop if the fuel is enrichen in the lower rpm bands.
Is it blowing black smoke when you get on it, or can you smell raw gas?

NO, no black smoke... no raw gas. It could be just that its cold. I will try the video again

That is what Vance and Hines suggested as well, to run an auto tune... Its about 40 degrees in Michigan, and it will rain all weekend. As soon as the weather gets better I ll run the auto tune...

Wondering why the links wont work? Does this forum allow youtube links to be pasted in?

Did not know this. Thank you very much as I was wondering too if my idle was a bit high but this explains what I experience.
