Ah you've heard about the Falicon mod then James, all I can say is it really does work. The clutch on mine now makes zero noise, shame there's not a similar fix for the CB750 mine drives me mad.

When you hear some of them which are well set up they do sound much smoother as you've effectively taken out that hunting from running too rich at tickover. Even if it's one cylinder they just keep "chuntering" which makes the primary drive flap around. This is what current fuel injection on cars does, both diesel and petrol, they optimise the fuel amount on tickover while monitoring individual cylinder speed via flywheel sensor, so they have effectively mimicked Honda practice albeit with on the fly monitoring. That's why when you start modern stuff you get that flat very stable idle immediately. The idle screws are set as a baseline by turns out figure given as start point and should be set properly when warmed up and running. It may get you closer to what you're after on the Honda.
