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.

Ok. I think last time I reset it, it was about 11XX or so.

Default 06 egc

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.
