Default Engine Braking..?

Just had the bike down at the dealers to sort out some warranty issues. To cut a very long story short, they had to replace the switch housing, master cylinder, brake and clutch clamps. My fuelpak also had to switched out.

My question is which one of theses would contribute to engine braking? Before the bike went in it was quite servere. Now when you roll off the gas it's so much smoother. As I am about to embark in doing all my own wrenching I would be curious to know the answer to this one if anyone can help!

Thankyou in advance

Rob

geez I'd love to have severe engine braking it would save my brakes,they would've raised the engine idle revs up some how is the only thing i can think of,it must have been dropping to below 500rpm before you let the clutch out in lower gears
