Oh k I'll do that mister I'll throw up pics of my bowls and plugs tommorow

The idea with the Spray test is to leave everything as it is, as it would be while riding down the road. And just spray into the area. The fumes will get sucked in if there are any leaks and you'll hear the engine tone change as a result of the spray.

Just a thought.....are both your chokes opening and closing properly? If one is sticking, that cylinder would run rich, and it would bog down. When the revs are up enough, the choke makes very little difference.........seems to match your symptoms.

Ok totally weird update, while riding to a mates place to borrow his multimeter to check the coils and HT leads just before a bend in the road there was a sudden surge in power and whoallaaa, off she went like a shower of shaZam!! It was like nothing was wrong in the first place geez its got guts now. Im still taking it to the shop and get them to do safety check on it 'fresh set of eyes' to see if ive missed anything since putting it back together which im ok with but yeah. When I got to my mates the bike was blowing off alot of unburnt fuel so I'm suspecting a faulty spark plug (first one Ive come across). Anyhoo I checked the coils etc and everything was right on the upper tolerances for ohm resistance on the coil and HT leads, so hope that means all is well and strong. I'll put up pics of the bowls that people has been asking for.

Thanks to all for hints and suggestions, the shop told me I had contaminated fuel, along with an idle mix tweak and a carb sync, they also found my head set bearings aren't quite seated which rattled me a bit. But I parted with $120 and a job to tackle tomorrow morning. The shop actually did a good job my bike is much torquier and responsive now  :D! Again thanks to all for the help.
