i wouldn't worry about it too much cuz the idle isn't supposed to be adjusted till the bike is warm. So if it does have a rough or high idle early then its not too big of a deal.. as long as it flattens out once it heats up. You can try running seafoam through a tank of gas and it might help... its great for cleaning things out.. i used it right at the beginning of spring

yeah, adjust the idle went is full warmed up. Also, it never hurts to put some Seafoam fuel treatment in there. That stuff cleans up the entire system nicely.
