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.

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.
