Default Idle issue
I have a 07 Street Glide with Stage1 and Screaming Eagle Exhaust. My bike regularly idles around 900 rpm, until today. On my 28 mile ride home, every time I stopped at an intersection or light it would rev to 1100-1300 rpm. When I got home I let the bike set for an hour and then started it again, it was at 900 rpm again. I took it a few miles down the street and when I stopped at a few stop signs, the idle dropped to 500 rpm and once even died. I came home and as I put the bike in the garage it was back to the 900 standard. Any ideas

Spray some throttle body cleaner in your IAC with the motor off and cycle the key to open and close the valve.
