Default Iac help

Ok so i had a tune and the bike ran perfect. I went from a 103 to a 107(due to a piston ring Failure) with more compression and bigger roller rockers and bigger injectors .

i learned a lot in tuning the last time with WIZ and setting the IAC

with the old tune the i set the IAC to the recommendation of the IAC analyzer and never looked back...

Here is where i am at so far,
the IAC cranking fuel was way to high so i cut it in half. It would cause really high idle off start then drop drastically,

No matter what i set the table to on the IAC warm up. The IAC valve it self continues to open steadily and cause the bike to hiccup and a small surge in idle.

long question short, why does the IAC continue to change value if i set it to what the table recommended?

im like 90% there. I just dont understand why it continues to rise with temp of the motor? What am i missing?

Understand that what you are setting is starting place for the IAC at various conditions. Once the engine is running the ECM takes over and will adjust the IAC as needed to hold as close as it can to the desired Idle Speed that is set. So if your Idle Speed Table has it set to idle at 1000 RPM the ECM will do what's necessary to try and get that idle speed.
