Is the idle at all lumpy?

The idle isn't perfect ... I wouldnt say its bad, it doesn't cough and misfire, but it isn't exactly what I would call a perfect inline 4 sound... hard to describe, just a bit ... used and rough. No hesitation or coughing when slowly/quickly bringing up the revs though and no flat spots on power ... except ...at the top. I changed the plugs when i first bought the bike so there 10,000 old, though looked nicely tanned when I looked at them. One point to mention is when on choke in the mornings the bike recently smelled a bit more ... oily from the exhaust ... or my spidey senses are developing
The new air filter was a genuine straight from the Yamaha dealership. It ran fine before and after. The carbs have never been balanced since I've owned it which was at 16000 miles, before that it had full service history.
