Intermittent idle woes, single click sound RPM drop

Purchased this used 2009 Ninja 250r with 41000km in September.

Previous owner has records to show the following work was done in

June: Oil change, carb clean, Seafoam, sparkplug change

Symptoms:

Scenario 1: At stop, first gear, clutch in at a redlight I will sometimes hear/feel a 'CLICK' then see the RPM drop below 1k in 2 increments ('CLICK', RPM drop, RPM drop, then RPM raise back up). Ambient temperature: ~5-7C

Scenario 2: After a ride, I decided to continue to idle my bike in my garage to see if the problem came back. First gear, clutch in. I hear a CLICK, RPM drop, RPM drop, dies.

Work done since symptoms: Replace with OEM CCT (original CCT was worn and continuous clicking sounds happening when rolling off throttle to stop), replace with manual CCT, idle knob adjusted after a ride

Does anybody have any ideas on what may be wrong?
