Before adjusting the carb, has the bike been setting for a long period of time? Has anything been done to the bike that would change carb settings? If it's been setting, there is probably a gum build-up in the jets and fuel passages. If it sat all winter, my solution is to add 1/2 can of SeaFoam to the gas, lock down the front brake and rock the bike back and forth mixing the fuel and additive well. Start the bike and run at a high idle until engine temp is normal. Shut it down and let set for an hour or two, allowing the mixture to work in the carbs. Restart and run at high idle again. If it seems to clear up somewhat, ride the bike several miles to check if it worked.
