I agree with Javier, that it's probably a leaning condition in the mixture. Along with your carburettor cleaning, I recommend you check all your carburetor boots carefully for cracks or leaks, and your airbox seams as well.
I know there aren't many vacuum lines on these bikes, but check the few there are. If you find a lot of funk in the bowls when you clean the carbs, consider cleaning out your tank, or at least pulling the petcock to clean its filter. Nothing serious, but probably lots of little things adding up to what feels like a major problem.

I guess putting a new clean filter can make it even worse since more air is passing through. I do not have a good explanation for the situation getting worse over time. I would try cleaning the carbs and enriching the mixture. You should try the #4 washer mod too. Javier.
