On a '00 with Magnetti Marelli injection, make sure the "air bleed" screws are clean ( carb cleaner.) They're located at 1:00 and 11:00 as you're looking down the dual throttle throats ( Look up!)

I have a 2003 Police Road King it idles at 2000 to about 2400 rpm
If I pull the air filter off it idles fine set it won't have any ideas or advice
