Idle is way too rich if choke kills it. Put factory 38 pilots in.

Yes, set them according to manual. I think only later new-gen '08+ models have different L/R needles and different L/R mixture-screw settings

You're very close! Adjust idle-speed knob to set warmed-up idle to 1500rpms.
Then use choke for cold-starts. Choke will work as intended if idle-mixtures are stock. Won't be able to do it without stock pilots.
Remember, these bikes ran PERFECTLY when new leaving showroom floor. There's no reason to change anything. People only noticed going to bigger jets improved things only because they had dirty clogged carbs over time and were too lazy or clueless to properly clean them. So yeah, bigger jets and richer settings may compensate for dirty clogged carbs temporarily, but those deposits will continue to build and in couple months, they have to go to even larger jets again and again. But bike never actually runs as well as factory-fresh condtion. Now that your carbs may be factory-fresh clean, you'll want to use factory jet sizes and settings for everything.
BTW - right carb may have vacuum-leak. Inspect rubber-manifolds to head. Maybe swap them to see if fluctuations changes sides. Inspect slide diaphragm for leaks. Vacuum-ports/passages at front of venturis may be clogged.
Did you set valve-clearances identically for both cylinders?
