Drain the gas, fill it again with some Seafoam and gas, Ride it for a few hours. It has a varnish build up in the carbs. The low speed jets are clogged more than the high speed ones but the Seafoam and fresh gas will clean it all out.

I drained and did seafoam already. Issue is it won't stay on when riding if I hit any stop lights. I left it running for an hour last night with seafoam. Got the white smoke to show it went through. It def sounded better after the seafoam. I forgot to put that I had done that already, and this is the issue post Seafoam. It was a lot worse before I did this.

Pull off the float bowls and take the jets out. Spray carb cleaner through them and reinstall. Clean the bowls of any gunk or debris. Also check for any airleaks from the intake boots and/or airbox. If you put REAL gas in the bike with no ethanol, it should help as well. Plenty of good videos on youtube to help clean the carbs properly. Good luck and good on you for helping out your family member.
