I've never worked on carbs before. Know next to nothing about syncing them.
I'll check the plugs out as well. Air filter looks pretty new. A bit moist. It did smell a bit like gasoline as well.

Have a look at the bottom of the carbs to see if the idle mixture screws have been adjusted. That may give you an idea if the carbs have been messed with or not
You can work on your own carbs. Plenty of
DIY info to get it done.
A moist air filter may be too moist. Should be just enough oil on the filter to look dry, but oily to the touch, not saturated. Light gas smells on the filter can happen, but heavy gas smells are no good. Even though the filter my look new, it may be the OEM one that came with the bike. Kawi recommends replacement after 2 years. The OEM is more restrictive than any aftermarket filter and tends to get tighter with age.
