    ICV very easy to clean.You need some carb cleaner.The Icv is the cylindrical device that branches off the intake boot with a couple of wires on the end.Inside a sleeve needs to spin to allow a cutout to let air through,but this can get "gummed up".My 535 has a very similar lag just off idle but only if you give quite a foot full.As far as gear down changes go dont let it drop down to idle,if you just back off the throttle a bit as the clutch goes in the revs rise of there own accord and match speed almost automatically.You dont need to "blip" the throttle

    Where excactly is the ICV? I'm having a hard time finding any pictures or diagrams. I have a Bentley manual and ETK, but no luck finding it
