Just to throw this one into the mix, my '02 17k miles bike had pretty much the same issues as yours. Pretty sure the bike had been stood for a while too. Tried stripping the carbs and cleaning them but only got marginal improvements. The cure was to strip them again and put new jets and float valves in, also swapped the inlet stubs as these were badly cracked but not completely through. Did these as it's such a pain to get the carbs off and didn't want the hassle of doing it yet again if they turned out to be an issue! Hope this helps.
