idle 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
I know I'll kick myself once I get an answer. Where is the idle setting/adjustment on the carb? Oh.... on a 05 Road Star Silverado. Been having idle problems, too low, since Laughlin.

I know the feeling!

On the right side, where the two cylinder meet.

Black knob.

Thumper--

I had the same issue after a session of honking on the bike...seemed to me my idle jumped up...I let her cool down and then went for another ride, same thing...idle seemed high...I adjusted mine "by ear". That was about 2-3 weeks ago and it seems to be running fine now...tweak it in small increments...don't set it too low and you should be fine

If you are unsure, by all means take it back and have the dealer adjust it for you...idling at 13 mph seems high to me
