Default 2008 Heritage Idling Problem

I just bought my first fuel injected bike about a month ago.&nbsp\\; I have had problems with bike idling high when I stop at lights or when I&nbsp\\;clutch it riding thru a crowd at the local bike meet's or parking lots.&nbsp\\; Of course, it only does this when folks are around looking and listening.&nbsp\\; Bike has around 600 miles on it.&nbsp\\; I had dealer put rush slip-ons and aftermarket breather along with download.&nbsp\\; It sounds worse than any Honda or Yamaha when it idles itself up.&nbsp\\; Folks probably think I'm riding a Heritage look alike.&nbsp\\; It sounds that bad.&nbsp\\; I was wondering if anyone else might have had this problem at sometime.&nbsp\\; I have only run 93 octane in it and have cycled ignition switch as dealer told me and I read on forum.&nbsp\\; Any advice would be appreciated.

Take it back to the dealer if it's idling too high.&nbsp\\; You shouldn't have had the dealership do it.&nbsp\\; For one you pay too much and second they can't violate the EPA rules so you're stage one sounds no louder then the stock pipes. &nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;

Thanks, I had&nbsp\\;worked out some deals with dealer about aftermarket things that's why I had them install parts.&nbsp\\; I usually do all my work myself but with this one being a F.I. I was kind of lost.&nbsp\\; I'm taking it to the dealer for the 1000 mile service, I was just wondering if anyone experianced this problem with there F.I.

My Heritage used to do that too, they said possibly air getting around the intake seals. Annoying!
