Default FP3 Idle change trouble

I want to change the idle to 1050 or 1100 rpms.

When I go into the settings under IDLE a table shows up with temperature on the left and all kinds of rpm settings.

I'm not sure what to change here seems a little complicated or am I not in the right setting?

Anyone done this before?

you want to change the at operating temp idle only , that starts at 1000, simply type in the 1050 or 1100 you want then flash, the othe idle settings are for cold engines and while it warms up, i wouldnt change those

Ok I picked 230 degrees and set it to 1100 let the bike warm up and it seems to be working.

It still isn't consistent.

I changed the cams I'm running the S&S MR103 cams with the eazy start in them. And when the idle dips below 1000 the primary makes the typical racket. Even before the cams it made the noise. The new cams per S&S need to stay above 1000 so the compression release doesn't engage.

When I turn the throttle to 1100 rpm all is quiet.

So if I understand the FP3 correctly the temp table on the left corresponds with the rpms on the right?

In the upper heat range it goes from 230 to 320 nothing in between. Mine runs about 260 to 300.

Or am I just not understanding how to make the change I want?

I changed like 5 temp ranges at the upper end, works great now.
What I was confused about that each cell had it's own value and I thought only one change was needed.

Some from the default settings were below 1000 causing my problem.


Thanks
