Default Bike won't idle...

I have an 07 Train with 27,000 miles.
V&H short shot staggered, with a S/E intake.
Stock O2 sensors with Xied's installed.

Bike starts great, runs great under power but the idle drops way down when stopping or slowing down. Sometimes it dies and sometimes it just idles real low. When it does idle, it sounds weak...

Any ideas?

Anyone else running Xied's have this problem?

Thanks
S/F

Try cleaning your IAC on the throttle body. Do a search, there are a lot of threads on how to do this.

Did a search and checked my SM.

The SM says to remove the tank to get to the IAC, is there any way to clean it out without removing the tank?

You don't need to remove the tank. Remove the air filter and find the IAC valve. Spray some cleaner in it. You will all kinds of dirt come flowing out. Spray until the dirt stops coming out, reinstall a/f and ride.
