for example: When i come to a stop at a roundabout, i dip the clutch and the revs drop really low (for a couple of seconds) and sounds like its about to stall - but doesn't. It's only just started happening in the past 2 days. Whats going on?

its getting serviced soon. Just need to sort the parts out. Could it be an idle control problem? although it has no problem idling any other time.
