Default Idle Surge?

Does anyone lese have a problem with a high / surging idle on their 09 after installing the FuelMoto stage 1 kit? Ive noticed on my 09 SG that at start up the bike will go up to about 1400 rpm then after about a minute goes into a sugre that goes from about 1000-1500rpm. Also if I I take off to soon after starting the bike up cold when I come to a stop and pull in the clutch the bike will rev up to about 1500rpm and sit there until I take off again. Once its warm it runs fine.

I called Fuel Moto and they said this is normal on the 09's??? They also said to cycle the ignition switch 3 times quickly before starting it. Anyone else heard this?

yep....mine did that both before and after the Fuelmoto Stage 1. I think maybe it does it to help speed the warm up??? Just a guess. It can be a little tricky at times. When I leave work, I have about 35 feet and then a sharp left turn to leave. nothing like having the bike leaned over a good bit, then getting an extra 400-500 rpms out of no where...

Mine too ... with and without the PC5. Not happy about it. Really not happy that I have to spend upwards of $2K to get a very expensive factory motorcycle to run properly (MoCo, are you listening?).

Yes, it does it in all weather conditions now. I never had any of these problems before the PCV. It almost acts like my carb'ed Sportster 1200R did, its not a deal breaker but still.
