it could be a number of things to be hounest. first off id give it a service. new oil,oil filter,fuel filter,air filter and spark plugs. also check all the tiny little vacume pipes that go all round the engine bay as if one of them has come loose or one of the rubber bends they conect to has a split in it that would also slow it down abit.
after that if its still doing it you need to clean the 2 snesors that are on the throttlebody down the right hand side of the enigne. (you will need to take off the water tank, top half of the inlet and battery to get to the sensors.
if still not that try cleaning the sensor in the plastic ducting right by your airbox.
if you still have the problem after that then id take it the garage as all the other sensors it might be can not be cleaned they would have to be replaced and you do not want to replace them unless you know they are playing up.
