Default Engine knock or stumble help!

Hey I noticed that when the motor is warm from idle if I give the throttle a quick twist the motor makes a knocking nosie or a stumble. It is a 2007 SG which has 3500 miles with V&H Fuel Pak, Ness BS with SE Touring Muffs.
I don't know if it did it before the FP or not the bike seems to be idleing a little low ~8K.
BTW what sould it be idling at 10K?
Has one hear this?? Is this something to be concerned with?
I haven't tried takeing the FP out of the loop yet but I may just to see if it still does it.

yeah that's what I thought 8k = 8000 mine would blow up at that rpm.

Probably meant 800 rpm.

Yeah you might want the dealer turn it up a 100 or so.
Mines around 1050 depending on outside air temp
