normal idle?

just seeing exactly where my idle should be. It sits at around 2k cold and then eventually settles around 1100. Seems fine, smells a little rich but unsure if thats alright or not. Mods aren't too much except duals on the back.

here is the page from the training manual, 1800-200rpm on cold start is normal, and then it should taper down to 750rpm by the time the coolant needle hits the first line, 65C
