Default Do I need to re-jet

Hello peeps-my curvy is having a problem when idling-its great on the power but when i come to a junction and the revs drop , the idle drops from 1500 to under 1000, sounds like its gonna cut out-i've changed the carbs over and its running like a dream when i'm out on a blast -i'm running twin ixil cans feed from a single 0ne into two split link pipe, normal air filter also.
Any advice appreciated from the tuners out there

Sounds like sticking choke plungers or you got a vacuum leak somewhere. Make sure airbox/carbs are sitting right and vacuum take off on front is sealed okay. Check the simple things first

Sounds like it running a little weak could be an air leak or just need the idle mixture screws richened up a little

you have tried to adjust the idle speed a little ?

Sounds like it's hesitating, rich midrange makes it do this. Check the choke plungers, also general service items like balancing the carbs and no dead rats in the air filter.
