That sounds like what mine does when I'm going really slow in first - like
1k to 2k RPM.  But that's only on the gravel road I live off of and in
parking lots.  If I'm on the road, I'm almost always above 3k, and usually
above 4k.  What RPM's are you talking about?  But yeah, I guess I do just
have the throttle cracked when I'm cruising and it's doing this...  I know
it always feels fine under acceleration or decceleration, so maybe it is the
same thing.
