I would probably start by resetting the computer and also checking for codes.

Lots of things can do this. Intake leak, too lean Richen up the tuner at idle 3% or so, Idle Air Control dirty.

Does your bike have throttle by wire? If so look at your owners manual for resetting the throttle position. If you shut the bike off while slightly rolling the throttle backwards it can impact the "zero" position. Happened to my 2013 FLHTK.. did the procedure to reset it (Basically turn bike on and off like 5 times) it was fine.

A quick and easy thing to try.
