Default PCIII idle setting

Does anyone know how to set the idle up a little. The guy that tuned me bike set it at 750 rather than 1000 and it likes to kick a little when starting. Its a 07 street glide.

There is no way that I know of to adjust the idle with the PCIII.&nbsp\\; The dealer can supposedly do it through their dealer software that affects the ECM, not the PCIII.&nbsp\\;

750 is way to low.&nbsp\\; Not enough for charging and oiling system at idle.
My best guess is that the throttle position is not set properly on the PC.

Sounds like you might just need to recalibrate your throttle position.

I don't have my OM handy, but I thought there was an idle screw on my bike even though it's fuel injected.&nbsp\\; Maybe it's the high speed idle.
