Default Too many RPM's?
Quick question. I just put the V&H BR, and an air cleaner on my bike. I tuned it with the Powervision. My bike is now idling at between 5000-6000 RPM's. Is this normal?

No, it was really 5000. Now I feel like a real idiot though. Its not the pipes, tuner, or air cleaner. My throttle is sticking like crazy. I put new iso grips on and it was stuck in the 5000 rpm setting. I have the grip apart now but it still sticks when I give it gas. How do i un-stick this? Sorry, I'm new to motorcycles....

Did you follow the manual's procedure to adjust the cables when you put on the grips? If not or if you do not have a manual, watch this video. There are others as well...
