Manually cleaning the carbs will require some effort. You will have to remove them and disassemble them...Try this first:

Go to Autozone and get some Seafoam and run that through the bike as per the instructions on the can. The stuff works wonders for cleaning the carbs and the cylinders/valves. Run a bit through, the pour the rest in the tank and drive the tank out. That should clean it up pretty good.

If that doesn´t help, then you will have to have the carbs cleaned/rebuilt.
