To get rid of the backfire/popping we're suppossed to bump up the 0 Trottle Position #'s up but, am I correct in assuming that there's no need to raise them until you get to 1250rpm?

Why add fuel when idling, right?
I don't understand why adding or subtracting any fuel to RPM's above 1500 on late-model HD's would make any difference. The EFI shuts down fuel delivery when at 0% TP anyway, so why would it make any difference? Take your bike up to 3k RPM in 3rd gear and roll down the throttle to 0%. When it gets to about 1500 you'll feel a slight surge when the fuel begins to flow again. If the is no fuel delivery, why would changing anything matter?

Wow, 30 seems alot. How high up (RPMs) did those setting go?
All the way to redline.
I'm+10 at idle and it still gets warm.
