The idle adjustment is on a small knob under the left side of the fuel tank. Start the bike as you would normally, then turn the knob until the idle speed picks up and slowly work the choke in. Continue making these small adjustments until the choke is all the way in and the bike is idling at a speed that is to your satisfaction. Barring any mechanical problem, this should do the trick.

God bless and good luck.

2007 Honda shadow spirit 1100. Has set up for 6 months and will fire but will not idle without choke on full.

Failure to idle (or even start/ run) without the choke is indicative of dirty carb(s), partially clogged slow jet. Leaving a bike to sit with un-stabilized fuel is inviting problems, ethanol is the culprit.

I have a 2005 harley davidson sportster xl 1200 custom. after bike is at normal operating temp.when i stop for redlight or stop sign, bike idles to fast.i can let out on clutch little bit and it will slow...

If the carb is adjusted correctly, the engine will not idle without the choke when cold. I will usually take at least 3 to 5 miles of riding to get the engine warm enough to idle by itself without the choke. If your bike is a full operating temperature, it should idle at about 1000 RPM. If it's idling higher than this, you need to slow it down a bit.

Remove the air filter cover and look at the top right side of the carb. You'll see a screw there . This is the throttle stop screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise to lower the idle speed to 1000 RPM or so. Blip the throttle and let it settle back to idle. Reset it if necessary. Once set, put the air cleaner cover hand on.
