XJ600 diversion, smooth idle.

Hi,
I’d like to know other peoples experiences on how smooth their divvies idle.
Mine ticks over quite smooth when stood idling, if I pull over and idle immediately while riding it’s not so smooth and it misses a little. Seems worse in colder weather. Better after stood for a minute.
How smooth should they idle, can you ride at idle in 1st gear and expect it to be totally smooth with no juddering? I’ve gotten it better and it’s sometimes like this, other times not perfectly smooth.
Is this normal?
Do iridium spark plugs make idle better?
Comments appreciated.
