I would dump in a couple of cans of Sea Foam in the tank, then start that thing and keep jockying the throttle around as much as you can to keep it running a while. After it warms up a little bit, shut it down and let it set overnight.

Next day, do the same procedure again. I am willing to betcha a box of donuts, that will get it to where you can ride it and really clear it out.

... Mark,

If you have changed out the air filters, just keep on riding the bike and downshift to the gear needed to keep the engine over 2,500 RPM.

You are now where my bike was when I was fighting that same thing. I just kept riding it, and pouring in more Sea Foam. It took about 3 months for my bike, it was stopped up baaaaadddddd.... but it did finally clean out and I never had to do a carb job.

Your experience may vary, but I am a cheap skate, and My trips to work and back were all on roads at 45 mph, or 75 mph. either way, I just kept the bike in lower gears until I hit the freeways.

In your situation, I would just keep riding it, and go on. It should keep getting better.

From what you are telling us, it is already better than it was, just not perfect yet.
