It sounds like the bike is either getting too much fuel, or not enough, hard to say from the description.

Two possibilities come to mind. Either the carb cleaning has gone wrong, or maybe the fuel filter is too restrictive.

When the carbs were cleaned, did you put all the needle clips back in the same place? All the adjustment screws back to their original settings? Did you maybe clean the jets too aggressively and enlarge them?

The fuel filter may be the problem (did it have one before and is the new one a correct replacement?) but it would have to be pretty restrictive to cause fuel starvation.

Are the air filters clean? Did a rag or something get left in the intake tract someplace?
No Witnesses.... :shifty:
