Default Idle

My 04 Electraglide wants to Idle at around 1000 rpm, since this is my first HD I thought that this was kind of high. IS this normal or is it kind of high and if so how do you adjust it down? A friend said that since it FI you cant adjust it manually. What do you guys say?

This is exactly what it should be at warm idle.
