Basically I've had this rough idle and constant throttle surging problem since I bought the bike. So far I have...
Full service, including valve clearances, done by a dealer.
Cleaned carbs twice.
Attempted to sync carbs 5 or 6 times.
Tried various idle mixture settings, currently set at 2 turns out.
Checked for leaks but couldn't find any, but there could still be an air leak.
The video below shows what readings I'm getting on my carbtune when idling and at just off idle throttle which is how much throttle I need to cruise at 30mph. No amount of tweaking gets them to sync up perfectly as they are constantly changing but carbs 1 and 2 seem to have more of an effect on the idle than 3 and 4.

Does anyone know of any possible causes for this? Next things I'm going to do is have the carbs sonically cleaned and if that doesn't help then get it on a dyno to see if that will help narrow it down.
Any suggestions very much appreciated. I'm completely lost on what to do next.
**The audio is terrible as it was recorded using my phone. Sorry
