Maybe it's just the nature of the beast and I'm being too picky or Maybe I just shouldn't downshift so much , I barely use the brakes only to come to a complete stop at the very end, someone had told me that it's good for the clutch and I love the sound of the motor.

Thank you very much for your replies and help.
I'm sure having the idle set at 700 was a good bit of the problem. The cam will work against you at this rpm. Setting the idle higher and giving it a little more idle mixture should get you dangerously close.
