Default evo idle

Just picked up a 97 ultra. Could just be me(and it usually is) but the idle seems low, about 500. Efi, stage one, true duels. My old FXR idled about 800 when warm (carbed) and my 07 heritage (efi) idles about 9-10. Opinions? Comments? Suggestions?

EFI should be 1000
Do you have the FSM? You have the MM FI. Simple system, but you need to reset some things. If you need help with this we can do that, even if most of us have switched to a carb.

All Evos should be around 950/1,000rpm, so you are right to be concerned. We have a few members who can offer advice on tracing and rectifying your bike, so we'll keep this alive until they call by!

Thanks! will inquire further when I return from vacation. I know, but the old lady says we have to take one...every thirteen years... like clock work.
I don't know how she expects me get anything done goofing off like that.
