lower idle

Can you lower the idle on a 2007 roadglide?
My idle is around 1000 rpm would like to lower
to 900-950
I have a power commander III usb
Will the pc software do rpm?

My understanding is the oil volume is too low at low rpms.

True. Harley's oil pump needs at least 900-950 RPM to deliver the correct amount of oil pressure. Anything lower would starve the top end of cool oil.

Hence, your idle is set at 1000 to make sure that does NOT happen.
