Idle speed should be about 1100 rpm. First thing to do is check there are no air leaks from the inlet rubbers, then balance the throttle bodies and finally adjust the idle speed.

 

If the bike runs otherwise ok my guess is the balance is a bit out, and the idle probably set too low.

That's good advice from Noggie.

 

My tach reads 300 rpm high so I have to set idle at an indicated 1300 to get a tick over of 1000. Setting to an indicated 1100 could make your Guzzi struggle to stay alive at 800 rpm.
