Default Odd (?) idling issue? Related to my poor gas mileage?

So I started a thread earlier about my poor gas mileage and now that it's on my radar I've been noticing that my idle is weird: bike starts up fine, idles fine at what I set it at (with that idle adjuster ****) but when it warms up the idle goes up about 2-300RPM, I basically have it set at 1300RPM but when the bike is warm the idle goes to about 1500RPM... is this an issue or am I overthinking?

I'm thinking of changing out my FPR if that's causing the problem and hopefully that'll fix that and the mileage issue?

that happens to me too. but i dont think its the FPR because i replaced mine a few months ago.
i think the bike needs a throttle body sync instead.

Mines done it since new and hasen't changed anything in 53,000 miles. If the bike isen't warm enough to register temp on the gauge yet it isen't cold enough out to make it kick its idle speed up over normal then it will idle slightly below normal until it actually registers temp on the dash. Very normal for engines of all sorts.
