I will give it a try and report back. Raining now in Nashville, so I will have to test the results on another day?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Update on my bike and possible solutions.

Thanks to all who have contributed on this topic.

Thru all of this the starting voltage on battery is @ 12.9 after starting bike volt guage works its way back to 14.3 or so

I have cleaned and checked and reassembled both ends of both + & - battery cables. In the process I wounded the main circuit breaker at the 12volt possitve cable end.  So I even replaced that part.  BTW NAPA has a replacement BK 782-3116.

I found a ever slight amount of residue at the contact point for the negative cablee on the engine case Possibly soap residue? Reassembled and did the cruise control home adjustment.

Went for ride to market and when I came out to restart it did it again. Ran down the road a bit and went back to normal.  Pulled into home shut down and restarted moments later and it was back. I did the mentioned trick of loading the bike against the clutch for a few seconds ad the idle did then come back down.

I am somewhat convinced that its due to the PCM programming / flash and can only hope when I take it in for service to fix this issue I can get some positive results. 

Kevinx: Since I have what is supposed to be the S1 L2 download. what would the performance hit be if I have it flashed back to the original stock map?

To recap on another post I did after the "Recall Refalsh back in sept 08 " The bike behaved quite different on decel @ 1500 rpm it immediatly started to lunge forward as if I am "blipping the throttle"  This all may be coincedence but 1500 rpm seems to have magical thing about it..

So possible update will be in two weeks after I  have one of my favorite dealers in Vegas give it look.

The maps have been re-done a half dozen times since the recall. If you go to the dealer during the week, and drop your bike they can send a "Service Report", and prolly get an autho for a remap with a newer version. Don't hold me to it, but you can try

Final Update!
It's FIXED...
The problem was simple. "New Battery"
The rpms a due to the system trying to replenish what was lost after a restart...
Mine was an early 08 model. The battery was about 2 years old.
I thought it was going to be something more than that so I had it at the dealer to perform the checks. They sent the issue to Victory for their review and all they had to say was install a new battery. The techs were a bit baffled by the fix too. The end result is that the bike is now back to normal.
To everyone, if you encounter this type of problem and the battery is more then 18 months old go out and get a new battery and install it prior to making any other service actions. If its not the battery then you are only out less than $100 and are eliminated an item that can cause a whole lot of grief.
I got a dealer battery that is same make as what was in the bike but would have rather installed an agm style. I will do that the next time around.

Thanks for all the tips from everyone...

Thanks for the update JSP, it is always the simplist problems that we overlook that is the fix. I'm on 24 months of my battery and I think it is time to change it out before the winter hits hard.
