Is it normal for the idle to go up and down in first minutes of riding?

I thought it was a dime?

The exhaust header nuts are a maintenance item and no dealer is going to tighten em up for free.

You might find one or two who would happily charge to snap a few off for you...

Back when the cream floated to the top of milk it was a nickel.

I thought there was a recall to have them checked. Especially on the early models. If not then its another cash cow for the dealers.

The last time I went to the dealer with my bike for TPS replacement they asked about the header nuts and the other recall/service bulletin items. This is a known issue and has been on the forum before. I would find another dealer for the things you can't do on your own. The dealer should have checked this. I would drop a nickel on the dealer.

Glad to hear the good news. 

Another dealer? Easier said than done. The nearest other dealer is about 40 minutes away and haven't heard anything good about him. After that dealer, it is about another 2 hours before there is another.
I haven't gotten out the manual but I bet there is a blurb in the maintenance schedule about tightening stuff up and if so, I can see the dealer charging me for it. Bike currently has 7500 miles. Rather than take the bike to the dealer and waiting two weeks to get it back (with the risk of something being broken or scratched), I think I can handle this job of tightening myself. If anything, I am behind schedule as I originally planned on having a new exhaust on the bike 7500 miles!
