I highly doubt this is what you need to do, but I've got the TB carbon fiber setup and my idle sounded about the same for the longest time. When I did the AIS removal/block/whatever you call it (I have a thread here about it somewhere if you search) my idle never sounded the same afterwards, and now it sounds *very* good while idling or at pretty much any RPM.
It obviously could have been a multitude of things I had done while in there; to do the mod I had to take out the battery box, air box, unplug loads of connectors/tubes, tons of stuff. For all I know it was just unplugging the battery and letting the ECU reset, but after I installed the blockoff plates my idle went from that to what it is now and the "popping" sound was dramatically reduced.
Again, I don't think doing that fixed it, but SOMETHING I did while in there certainly did. Or, then again, my bike is magic and fixes problems on its own all the time so maybe it just got sick of its own idle.
