And No 2 is the slowest. I'm still not entirely sure that that would be the cause of your problem. If one was hanging up and dropping really slowly.........perhaps then.
Ok, next lot of questions.
How old is the air filter? You have been running with the airbox connected/filter in? Sometimes they can do funny things if they are not connected.

k&N after market
this came up a lot i took the added step of taking rtv and making a small bead around the edge to seal it in and checked for holes in the air box too
and yes everything hooked up i also read that it likes to do crazy stuff when they aren't sealed well and resonating properly

in the pm yeah, my V&H is a little noisy for 2AM been there cops came not fun....
i will make a video of what it does while driving and while on idle
and before and after carb sync im crossing my fingers this will fix idle
cause for some reason and you might understand why better when you see her run but they seem like different problems and im trying to tackle it with that in mind if its not in the carbs what else causes bad idle
1 week spark
2 valves in need of adjustment
3 or out of sync carbs
and so on
what causes rev hang and sluggish rpm drops
1 in short things in the upper half of the carbs such as throttle needle and slides
and even the fact that ive cleaned all this stuff should of had some effect positive or negative its constant no matter what ive done with the carbs.......what am i missing in this grand picture???

my battery is shot my father used my battery to crank for days on his damn R1 and now it barely rolls the bike over even after a 4 hour trickle charge and my charger keeps saying its full and kicking off so i guess im S.O.L.
tell my new battery gets here probably wont show up tell Saturday got the gel battery recommended on forum so should last a little while
i read a weak or low battery does funny things so maybe this will help a little
in my down time im going to clean the carbs again and go for a triple check hopefully its something dumb ive missed the whole time
and yes i have checked the butterfly's for wobble and that they are smooth

i lied i guess found the jump starter got it started let it warm up idles better with the boots off like all the idle issues now gone so guess i need to clean the air filter out or replace it though its a k&N
anyways the first rev up is with idler set at 1150 ish RPM and the rest of the revs are with it set at 800 closer to 900 and at 9 it acted a lot crisper on the drop than with the air box connected
would show you a while in motion but the battery is fried and im living on the jump and if she dies thats a horrible push home (huge hill right past the bottom of my driveway)
IMG 07811] - YouTube
and it would drop a little slower set at 9 while moving
i dont think its all that sluggish at 900 rpm (now with airbox disconnected) but thats still not right cause its not posible to idle at 900 or at least mine cant
i also found out today that the bike wasn't re-jetted when the pipe was put on could this be an issue??? its its the common V&H ssr2 full system 4 into 2 into 1

Thanks for the video,
A couple of things.
Firstly - it does not sound as though your bike is running clean on all 4 cylinders. Could be a spark/coil issue.
Secondly. Now that I see on the video how the revs hang then drop, I think we may have been chasing our tails a bit.
My next course of action would be to look at the cable runs for the throttle and make sure that 1. the twist grip isn't full of crud and sticking on it's return journey to closed. 2. The cables to the carbies are free running and lubricated.
Have a read of this ------> https://cbrforum.com/forum/cbr-1000f...ension-142213/
This from Shadow in another thread as well
"Fitting a stronger return spring would help but shouldn't be necessary if your cables are lubed right.
Spray some lube on your carb springs too - sometimes that helps"
Let us know how you go.

Agree with Seb - you have one cyl not firing - my guess would be a blocked float valve/screen and or a blocked pilot jet.
Easy way to figure that out is let the bike cool completely
then start and see which downpipe warms up last/least !
Also good idle rpm is 1200 to 1250 imo
And since your first post indicates carb cleaning done already - then check your tank for crud that can keep fouling your carbs !
Maybe put an inline filter in to help prevent that going forward if you find this is happening
