Default Low Rider idle speed question

I feel like the idle speed for my bike is a bit high. It idles at about 1400 RPM after warming up. Is that what you all find? I do have a stage one kit installed but i don't think that should make a difference.
Thanks

It's carb. I know i can adjust it, but didn't know if they are supposed to idle that high. Or is it more of a preference thing. it just seems a little higher than it needs to be. But then i was wondering if it was set there for a reason, like keeping the oil pumping faster at idle.
does anyone have a manual that states what the idle speed should be set at?
Thanks

Should be adjusted between 800-1000 RPMs. Don't want to go too low due to oil circulation. 1400 wouldn't hurt anything but would sound like you're racing at idle...All this assumes your tach is accurate.

Cheers!
