I'm a shade tree mechanic, but the first thing I would do is clean the throttle body, then add some seafoam (5-6 oz) to a full tank of gas and run that through. To clean the throttle body, open the throttle full with the bike not running and spray some seafoam or carb cleaner in there, I use a small round brush to clean mine, be careful around the butterflys, they are brass and you don't want to bend them.

If there is any gunk on the wall where the butterfly rests at idle, it will effect your idle speed.
Also, clean and regap your plugs if you have not done so. Gap .032-.036

No matter the ambient temperature, when starting my 1500 I have to increase the idle speed to get the bike to warm up before it will idle on its own.  Is there some sort of fix I could put in place to correct this or is this condition adherent of this bike?
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can add.
