If one is out of the top of a carb or it is pulled out of the adjuster at the lever or splitter or the adjuster is miss adjusted the slides will not bottom to the screw.
I'd do a visual of the cable and if nothing is apparent I'd look at both slides and make sure they bottom out. .............lm
One step ahead of ya! I did that as well when I pulled the tank, air filters/boots, slides, jets, etc. The slides definitely bottom out. The cable is still in really good shape and pulls both slides evenly and returns to bottom. I also did this to see if the slides were getting hung up somehow in the chamber. They don't seem to be.

I did! I ran it with the tank on, filters and boots off, watched the slides bottom out. Heard the slides tap the bottom of the carb bore.

The symptoms persist. Like I said, when the bike gets warmed up, it will idle at 1500-2000rpm with the idle screws (not mix screws) fully removed. Slides are closed all the way.

Drop the bowls and make sure the jets are in place. ......lm

They are, and the bike runs more or less fine otherwise.
