how do you change the idle speed on 06 dyna.

 

With the twist of the throttle

 

If you are wanting to change it because you feel it is too high or too fast, leave it alone. The newer bikes depend on 900-1000 rpms for the electronics and proper lubing of the upper end of the motor.

 

+1 with jmpancoast, the 1000 rpm is two fold 1) maintains a proper charge rate for the electrics on the bike i.e. headlight always on, fuel pump always on and engine electrics, 2) oil pressure is low on idle with the twin cams, the bottom end bearings also take a beating if you decide to lower the rpm.

 

You buy some tuning software and an ECM interface. You can go down to 800 and up to 1200 at operating temperature with SE Race Tuner on the '06.

 

thanks .

 

Guess I'm the dissenting opinion here. My 94 Low Rider (carburated) idled at 750 rpm. Never had any charging problems at all. I'm pretty certain that that electrical system on my 08 FXDF is superior, granted it also has to support the EFI but just how long would you have to sit idling at 800 rpm to kill the battery? Never been an issue for me. I've also heard the story about the oil pressure, again I'm skeptical. Lots of miles on my 94 FXDL iling at 750 rpm, and no problems. I'd like to see a bike w/an actual oil pressure gauge showing the op difference in the 200 rpm from 800 to 1000.

 

The question was "how do you change the idle speed on 06 dyna",
not "should you change the idle speed on 06 dyna".

 

Ditto here as well. When you first start the bike at 0 rpm the battery is sufficient to run the electronics. There's even been times I forgot to turn off the ignition and left it on for 5-10 minutes and the bike still started. So I can't follow how the battery when it is still being charged albeit at a lower rate is not going to be able to handle the electrical load for the amount of time you may be idling at a light or whatever.
Now the oil pressure argument has more merit to me for the newer (07 and up) bikes but I'm not buying it on the '06s like mine. The 06 models you could get either carbed or EFI. I seriously doubt there are two different oil pumps that go into that engine depending on whether its carbed or EFI. If I'm all wet, please let me know.

Oh BTW, to answer the OP, you need a tuner(SERT, PCIII, etc.) to be able to lower idle speed.

 

Sucks when threads get hi-jacked doesn't it??
I'd like to go a little lower on the rpm....
