Idle speed
My 97 XII seems to settle into an idle speed of 1400-1500 when fully warmed up, and this just seems high to me. I was wondering if it's a normal idle speed, and if not, what it should be.

Re: Idle speed
My '99 VXII idles about 800 
There is a knob on the left side at the bottom rear of the carburators to adjust the idle speed.
