Probably just fluxuation in the gauge when on/off throttle, that is not uncommon..... I meant under acceleration if you were that lean you would have big problems. Probably wouldnt hurt to go one heat range colder on the spark plug and tighten up the gap a bit on them, if normal gap is .050-.060 run them at .035-.045

In the mean time pull your plugs and look for any signs of running lean... if there are tell tale signs then going a heat range colder as well as some tuning will definately help out big time.
