You might have more than one issue here. Even if petcock has slow flow, from initial start, you should still have sufficient petrol-levels in float-bowls for at least a minute. So do this test:

- warm up bike for 5-minutes
- turn off, leaving petcock on, let sit for 5-minutes. This should re-fill bowls to proper float-level
- aim bike down empty road, start it up and immediately redline 1st & 2nd gear!

Does it run like bat-out-of-hell to redline? If so, problem may be petcock not flowing enough. However, if it still bogs in upper-RPMs, then it’s not petcock and carbs need complete disassembly and restoration.
