Perhaps the cleaning didn't shift all the muck out of the slow jets… were they blown through and checked or did you just rely on the ultrasound?
If you're sure they are clear then it might be worth adjusting the mixture screws out a bit, mine are just 1.8 turns out, but I recall reading that others on here found as much as 4 turns was needed on theirs.
Also, the mechanic set mine to 2 turns out so I may adjust them a bit too.
One weird thing I noticed today though, if I adjust my idle screw the idle goes up and I can set it to wherever, but the next time I jump on the bike (even a few hours later) it's like it's gone back again.
The mechanic did say though that it might take running a couple of tanks of clean petrol through for things to settle down, so maybe just a waiting game?
