Possible idle issue... help diagnose?

Ok here's the issue. Bought my 05 636 a few weeks back. I'm new to streetbikes but have ridden dirt all my life. Sometimes when I rev or when I clutch in to downshift my revs are dropping too much and stalling the bike. As well, my idle sounds extra lopey and the bike, when warmed, idles anywhere from 600-750rpm.... sounds a bit low to me, and my theory is somewhat reenforced by the stalling.

What's the reccommended idle setting for our bikes?

Thanks,... figured it out bout an hour ago but figured I'd check back here anyway. Just as long as I got it before the ride home.
