The 2009 Touring Bike service manual advises that the idle rpm will be 1000 rpm, plus or minus 50.
As far as having the dealer service department adjust your idle speed, that is not likely to happen, unless you have added a fuel management device on your bike that uses a programable map. The bikes stock map is set in the software to conform to EPA standards. For a dealer to jack with the rpm range they would likely be changing the fuel to air ratio which could result in repercusions by the EPA if discovered. I believe some states are using a sniffer on motorcycles now, just like cars.
I guess you could say that "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" (as in EPA).
