The idle on my bike seems to hunt a little after the bike is warmed up. The RPM's jump between about 850 -950.
I took it in to the dealer, they say it's fine. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue.
How steady is your bike at idle after it warms up. Just curious!
I've got an 06 SG all stock, with 8degree injectors.

After warming up my bike never idles above 1k. It is usually within the same range as your bike. Also, these bikes will automatically reduce the idle when hot to help cool the engine. I learned this recently from my dealer.
