Should be around 1000 RPM's. A dealer needs to adjust it via the ECM. If you are having high idle problems try this: with the kill switch on run, turn the ignition switch on for 10 secs, off for 10, four times. This reset should help. If not there is a download the dealer has to fix high idle problems on the 08 models. I think it's free.
