by "tick over" do you mean when the bike is idling? A little fluctuation is normal. But you may look into cleaning your carbs, syncing your carbs, and checking your valve clearances to help smooth that out. If any of those 3 are out they will definitely make idle aloght rougher.

1999 would make it an f4?
as far as your idle twitching, that's due to an uneven idle because of the air/fuel mixtures (usually).

turn your fuel/mixture screws under the carbs(pilot screws i think?) out about one turn (1.5 if jetted) on each carb, and that should solve it.

although its quite possible there is more going on here.

is your bike jetted?
whens the last time your carbs were cleaned?
do you have any aftermarket parts besides the exhaust?
how has your bike been treated?
how many miles?
hows the oil/filter?


anything else, feel free to fill in
