After motorway riding, drop the throttle off for any relevant reason, traffic jam, coming off at a junction & the revs don't drop to tickover as they normally should when I slow down. When I'm at a standstill they finally get to tickover nicely, just takes a few seconds.
Any ideas?
Taking a while for revs to drop down to idle...

I'm running an open mouth 28mm delly & thats what I think it could be.
Hello
Does sound like too much air.
I had those symptoms for a while and sorted it by changing the slide (on a 28mm PHBH) for one with a smaller cut-out that I had kicking about.
Might be worth fiddling with your carb after checking for obvious air leaks but before checking for subtle air leaks.
cheers

Did you have to do that?
