Default High idle, lean condition?

Anyone experience this or have any fix? I just put on a set of V&H true dual's and V&H slash mufflers. I installed a DFO on my bike wich is a 02 FLHRI. I thought I had it pretty well dialed in, with the green dfo pot set a little past 3 o'clock. I went for a ride the other day, stopped for a while for coffee and when I restarted the bike, I noticed the Idle was high, and when I decelerated and down shifted the exhaust pop was back. Thislasted until I shut the bike down again. I have no codes showing on the computer. I had a Ford truck that did this and I cleaned the air idle control and solved the problem. I don't know if there is any similarity. Any help would be appreciated.

try 2;45; 4; 4; 7 on your pot settings. This from the Techlusion help forum.

Thanks Ricoman, I should have said I have the stage one flash an SE aircleaner. I set the bike up according to the techlusion settings +3,3,4,4 for my app. Since it runs great most of the time I thought it was the AIC step valve intermittantly letting more air into the intake, causing a high idle / lean condition. I'll keep screwing with it until I either fix it or break it.

Yep, I just put on the true duals with all new gaskets and hardware, I have not checked the intake for leaks, but sooner or later I will. Being an intermittant problem, with no codes showing is whats puzzeling me. I should probably leave it alone, but would like to make it right.
