'11 RT RPM fluctuation

probably just a bit of paranoia on my part. Any one else experience RPM fluctuation a few hundred RPM when the bike is in neutral and you hold the throttle in the 2-3.5kish range?
 
RPM Fluctuation - 2011 RT

I haven't experienced any fluctuation, but then I can't say that I recall trying to hold the throttle in the 2,000 to 3,500 rpm range while in neutral. I guess I'll have to try this. To date though, I haven't experienced any throttle instability during normal use.

I think its normal. Its the computer chasing the o2 sensor with no load. Does it really matter?

Matching the cables just off idle is where it works the best. The further open the throttle is, the less it matters.

David and my two cents.
