Low RPMs while clutch engaged

I just noticed something today and it is probably nothing but what the hell. I was going real slow around a corner with the clutch engaged (I usually just leave it in gear going around a corner) and I noticed that my revs were really really low, like 200-300 rpms, it was well below the normal 700 idle. However it did not feel as if it were about to stall. Could it just be an inaccurate reading or is it something else. I am probably just being paranoid because I just installed my intake. Also I still get a taptap if i let it idle for a little and I can't figure out where it is coming from. Thanks

My clutch was engaged, I was just coasting around the corner.

Thanks. Now what about the tap tap problem. Read my other post about that. Thanks
