Default How to smooth out idle.

I have a 07 wide glide. Stage 1 96" motor. Is there a way to smooth out the idle with a power vision tuner? I have it set at 1000 RPM but she jumps around a lot. Anywhere from 1050 RPM to 950 RPM. Thanks!

I have same bike same idle quality. Clean your AIC. Reroute your hot oily vapors externally. Turn off bike with key not handlebar switch. Reset computer key on 10 sec. Key off 10 ect 4X. You're 8 pages back already!
I've found a manual idle **** that replaces your IAC. Read up on that. Good luck. Subscribed

Already have the oily vapors routed externally. Will check out the AIC. No clue what you are talking about with 8 pages back already.

He means the IAC. It's a step motor located about 12:00 inside the throttle body opening. Spray some throttle body cleaner, cycle the run switch a few times so the motor moves in and out.
It's not unusual for the idle to bounce around a little (after all, it is a 2 cylinder), but I think the gauge overdoes it in the display.

Thanks. I figured that was what he was talking about.
