I'm sure there's an answer for this somewhere but being new here, I have no idea where to look. I just got my new (old) 1995 Harley Davidson electra glide ultra and the idle is set at 1500 rpm's. I have a feeling it should be between a 1000 and 750. My question is, what should the idle for a warm bike be at and where can I adjust the idle on this particular bike. Thanking you in advance for any information you can give me.

Firstly , grab a factory repair manual.

Looks like yours would be the 99483-96A.
I would think the idle speed would be in the 950-1050 rpm range , but the older bikes may go slightly lower.
Most maintenance is fairly easy if you know how to do it , the manual will be your friend......
If you look over the air cleaner there should be a screw on the right , at a funny angle , that should be the idle speed screw.
Good luck.

Thanks Mick

I'll be looking to get that manual shortly. In the meantime thanks for the info.....I'll look for that idle screw tonight.
