    My 2003 FXDX idles at about 1000 -1100 cold, but after it heats up it goes to about 1300.

    I thought the idle should lower when the engine gets warmer. Is that right?

    Not sure if I should be concerned.

    Thanks

    Do you have a carb with a choke on it, if so I would be checking it out. I think it should idle 950-1000 after its warmed up.

    Could be an intake leak if carbed,or a sticky/dirty IAC pindle if EFI
