Carb diaphragms vibrating

Hi everyone, my first post on zxr world
I have a L5 which has been running a bit rough, revs kept playing up and it used to bog out on me a lot, especially from a stand still.
I went to a garage and they had a look and cleaned & setup my carbs, now it works a lot better but still not perfect, they said it will still run a bit funny sometimes (revs hang up for a bit when coming to a stop) and when going at a constant speed then pulling the throttle a bit, it s on me a little (until i pull the throttle more). Other than that, the bike pulls fine and gets through the whole rev range with no issues.
They said this is because the bike is old and the carbs get worn overtime, and that i could try a different set of carbs eventually. Now my thought was, when i had my airbox off at one point and started the bike, i saw the diaphragm slides vibrating up and down on idle, and when revving slightly they would be a bit glitchy.
Is this normal? or should they be dead still on idle, and moving up and down smooth when revving?
If its not normal then i think replacing my diaphragm rubbers might solve my issue, but want your opinions first before i spend money
Thank you!
