Default CVH Idle Speed

My RS seems to have a rather low idle, it did have an air leak but i've sorted that. It seems worse when hot, goes down to about 500rpm instead of 6/700 when cold. Can i adjust this without undoing the good work jamsport did? Or is it to do with hot air and the K&N not being shielded at all?

have you tried adjusting the throttle stop?
the big knob under the throttle body, just give it a little turn, that should sort it out for you.
