idle adjust

Is there a manual adjustment for the idle on a 09' FLHX, Mine seems to idle around 900 to 1000 rpm. I'd like it to be 1000 to 1100 rpm.

I believe that is about the correct rpm for the new throttle by wire bikes. If you go much lower you may have oiling problems.

Mine idles the same. Right about 1000. Maybe a hair less when hot.

I found it runs smoother at 1100 rpm at idle, Can it be manually adjusted.

I believe you have to have a tuner to play with it??? Id don't have one yet. Not sure...

Willy G. - do a search. I remember someone posting something awhile back about TBW idle adjustments. Sorry don't remember post.

The answer is NO, not without a tuner.
