Carbs are the obvious thing to check, and that's part of your routine maintenance honestly. On any carb'd bike, 99% of the time the problem is the carbs
Is there any particular reason you are not flushing front brake fluid? That's one of the top fluids I flush on a bike: oil, coolant, front brake fluid, rear. There's not much to it and it improves performance immensely.
Checking wheel bearings is a good idea. Chain maintenance is key as well, so that's good.
If you have a voltmeter, it's good to make sure you have a healthy charging system. I run a cheap voltmeter gauge on both of my bikes just so I'm not surprised when the system does eventually fail. Getting stranded with a dead battery sucks. Look for 14-15 volts at the battery at idle and at 5k rpm.
