ECU Flash from Ivan's Performance available

To those who have been Ivanized, how are you coping with the 2000 rpm cold idle? When I installed the ECU I was in Florida, and in 60-80F temps I found it manageable as the idle would soon drop to normal within 5 minutes of riding. I live in an RV resort and letting my bike warm up in the driveway at 2000 rpm would be very inconsiderate to my neighbors, so I always ride away immediately after starting the engine.
I'm now back in Ontario, and live in a townhouse with my neighbors even closer so I continue to ride away as soon as the engine starts. Yesterday it was below freezing and blowing snow but I went for a ride anyway, it took upwards of 15 minutes for the idle to settle down. While sitting at a red light the engine would be revving 2000, then down to 1200, then back to 2000 without me touching the hand grip. I was embarrassed, pedestrians I'm sure we're thinking 'why is this idiot revving the shit out of that bike' .
I find the high idle quite annoying, wish it could have been left at the stock 1250 setting. I have replaced my intake air temp sender and my coolant temp sensor so I don't think they are the cause, this started as soon as I installed the ECU. Anyone else have issues with this?
