As far as having the dealer service department adjust your idle speed, that is not likely to happen, unless you have added a fuel management device on your bike that uses a programable map. The bikes stock map is set in the software to conform to EPA standards. For a dealer to jack with the rpm range they would likely be changing the fuel to air ratio which could result in repercusions by the EPA if discovered. I believe some states are using a sniffer on motorcycles now, just like cars.
I guess you could say that "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" (as in EPA).
Guess my bike is running fine then, thanks for the input.....
