Your 4 brass screws on the sides of the carbs control AIR....turn them out to lean out your idle mix.  You can get to about 2.5 turns out and then they are at their limit as to leaning you out. 
You have a stock bike.  7/8ths +/- turns out on these should be sufficient.   If your air plenum/airbox/filter allow too much air...or...your exhaust is unbaffled, giving less back pressure, this would warrant IMS setting greater than 7/8ths. 
If they are 'stock'....something else is going on.

Your sync screws control carb vacuum.  Dont adjust them unless you have a vac sync tool connected.

My engine has developed an oil leak,I have re torqued the cylinder head bolts but I think it is still leaking
It doesn't seem to do it at idle but only on the road
I think it is coming from the cylinder head gasket because it wet and shiny on the side.it runs down the cooling fins and onto the crankcase.
I have now done 350 miles since rebuild and it's just started but I am revving the bike harder now,is it new gasket time and those little o rings
