I have just acquired a 2005 GL1800A and am wondering about the enthusiastic RPM when I start it from cold. It "idles" at around 1600 rpm - is this normal? After it warms up it drops to around 600 rpm.

Same here on my '08. Never timed it but it seems to last about ( ? )30 seconds or so.

When it cool it will idle faster, remember when you had a hand choke on a vehicle? Your fuel injected car will do the same thing. More fuel is fed to keep the idle up until it warms up a little then it drops back down.

Thank you both - I shall assume it is behaving normally.
