I think my Dyna is idling too low. It doesn't stall, but seems like it is close at times. How low is too low. I do not have a tach, so I cannot verify rpms at this time. Is a trip to the dealer in order here?
Depends on the year (specifically carbureated or F.I.) a carbd' bike will most times idle lower 800 ora little higher. An F.I. bike will idle at 1K or there abouts unless the setting has been changed. Take it to the stealer and let them check it if its new.

If your sitting there at idle forperiods of timesyour bike has a built in "Thermo Sensor " andeventually it will kick incausing your motorto thenrun on one cylinder and the end result is your motor's idle is rough and will act as if it's ready to stall which should not , the reason forthis "Thermo" is so the engine does not overheat , as soon as you put it in first gear and ride it is back to normal.
Hope this helps ![sm=bounceybounce.gif]
Screaming Eagle --- I thought that the EITMS was only programmed if you requested it. Unless that's not what you're talking about. I remember reading somewhere that when the EITMS is activated at idle it will smell funny too.
Buya Low Rider...tach comes standard! Mine usually idles right around 1000 RPM. I think the service manual says it should be at 1050 RPM....but maybe I read that here.
