Default High Idle...??

Hello, What is a normal idle rmp for our bikes? Ever since I added a PC3 I think my bike has a higher idle. Even after it is warmed up. How do I go about getting it back down? thanks.

What is the bike supposed to be idling at? I dont have a tach, but can check it on the PC3 software. It feels like there is more vibration as well.

Mine does the same thing. but when the wheels stop turning the idle goes down a little. sounds like I am on the gas when I am coasting down to a stop.

My 2001 FLHRCI was recently dynotuned after having a 95" kit and Andrews 21g cams installed. I commented about the high idle and the mechanic informed me that it should be set between 1050 and 1150 rpm to assure adequate oil circulation. While the idle varies a bit, it never falls below 1000 rpm.
