Flash-based tuners like Power Vision, TTS, and SEPST can adjust idle--to a point at least. Some ECM's force a limit on how far down you can go, as the lowest recommended setting is 900 rpm supposedly to retain adequate oil pressure. I have mine set to 950 (originally 967) and it is fine there. I did try it at 850 rpm, so the '07 ECM will allow it to go that far, but it only idled rougher and without any hint of that old "potato-potato" lope we now recall in our distant memories. My old carbed Evo RK did it at 875 rpm, but I don't think it's even possible with an EFI bike regardless of how low you set the idle.

I think my idle is alittle low. Runs about 800-900. I have an 06 SG and need to bump the idle up. Was looking around Behind the AC and noticed a set screw that did adjust the throttle cam thingy majigy. Anyone now if I can manually adj mine. Just put a fuel moto PC3 on bike and idle actually dropped alittle.

A good idle lope is possible with fuel injection it just isn't as easy to achieve.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOuLP...&feature=g-upl
