Default how to use PCV to adjust idle heat?

what parameters affect the idle heat on a 2011/newer bike that a PCv can adjust?

i see the timing, and the fuel for each cylinder, fuel is at 9 front, 10 rear, timing is 0 until 2000 rpm


with the "parade mode" on, it stays within a bearable range, but if it is stop & go traffic, the ETMS (sp?) cant keep the temps down.

bike is stock internals, ness air breather, 09 no cat head pipe, and 4 inch rineharts, so it flows alot of air...which might mean it is lean at idle?

running a canned map right now, the dealer here only has one dyno, and it alternates between here & the myrtle beach location.

was a long night, felt like we were riding a deep fat fryer:
