There was an ECU update that was released last year that corrected an idle issue and also took care of my backfire problems. Maybe the dealer didn't apply it to the new '08 that you bought if it was an application for '04 through '07 models.
I don't know, just tossing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.

I know when I bought it this past weekend, they too it off the showroom floor and along with adding things like oil and other fluids, they told me that they were going to apply an ECU update. So I assume that it's indeed up to date.
BTW.... what the heck is an ECU?
Anyway... I've been riding to and from work all week. And of course getting ready to hit it now. YAY me!
