Angry 2005 650 v-star decel problem

I just bought this bike the past owner put a set of vance & hines pipes on it and did not install the cobra re jet kit that came with them. The bike has 1600 miles on it and was hard to start until I installed the cobra jet kit the bike is running better but when riding and you let off the throttle the motor takes 3-5 seconds to wind down.

Any ideas out there?
