Yep that is an idle circuit plug symptom i believe the flow of gas is restricted
in that circuit somewhere.... and it can't get enough fuel to idle
I'd suggest you open the fuel air screws to 2 ~2-1/2 turns don't follow the manual on fuel air screws on this setting .... ( that's what I found)
....
My bike would run great on one cylinder but on 2 at higher rpm
denoting a plugged idle circuit in the dead side... I am a retired motorcycle mechanic, I know carbs but these bastards are something else !
I had them off 3 times to clean them and finally got it to run right....
and now a few months later that crappy running is back....
..... seriously Ducattiman is your best answer to this problem there is a secret to cleaning these things that I have not found yet !
.... you have to follow the idle circuit with a fine tooth comb and get those tiny passage ways super clean... other wise you will continue to fight it like I am doing !
