RPM surging issue with 2000 Sprint ST

Hi,
I have just purchased my first Triumph (2 weeks ago) and have noticed an issue that I wanted to ask for assistance on. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on the issue/s and/or resolution.
Well, I purchased a 2000 Triumph Sprint ST 955 (which I absolutely love) and have found that the RPMs are surging.

This is basically what I have found....
When idling, the bike will be at ~1500 rpm and bounce between 1200 - 1800 rpm. I don't think that this would normally be an issue to worry about if this was only happening when idling. But it does the same thing at any rpm. (Example - If I roll the throttle to say... 5000 rpm, the rpm will surge +/- 300 rpm)
I have found this to be extremely annoying because the bike has quite a large engine and I can easily feel the surging when riding.

Mileage - 18,500 miles
Valves adjusted @ 12K (per previous owner)

Thanks in advance!
Brent
