Default Idle issue

Had dealer install Rush mufflers on bike. Rode 100 or so mes enjoying sound. Shut bike off, had dinner, started bike and it idles at 1100 to 1500. If I barely twist throttle towards idle it idles at 900. Let go and it idles back up. Any suggestions?

What year is it? I don't remember the exact year model range but some if them will have an idle issue depending on how u shut it down.. It's either is u use the switch on the control first then the ignition know or the other way around.. Happens to mine.. It eventually goes down or I think u can turn the ignition on and off 5 times in a row or some **** to reset it
