It's a little bit "lumpy" but always has been this way, tried setting idle speed from 1,500-1,750 with no love.

A lumpy idle @ 1500-1700 is an indication that there's either a fuel or air problem. After the bike is warmed properly does it run OK or does it still cut out?
Do you blip the throttle to keep the engine from cutting off until it's properly warmed/ridden for more than 10 minutes?
Do you pull in the clutch early or late under heavy breaking? Why all the heavy braking?
Is your air filter clean or snorkel blocked?
Any mods to the carbs?

After some more testing tonight the problem seems to go away after 15+ min of riding, blipping the throttle doesn't stop the bike cutting out, clutch is always all the way in (early) before I break hard. The heavy breaking is because my morning commute is down a road with free flowing but heavy traffic and it's very common to get cut off, and I'm not talking emergency breaking just heavier than normal. I don't have any mods, how do I check if the snorkel is blocked? Where is it?
