Default more help with bike needed please

some of you may remember me asking for help about the bike i'm riding around ( a 250 hyosung). it's been sitting for a couple months so i did a quick clean of the carbs, ran seafoam thru the gas tank, replaced the battery and changed the spark plugs. the bike now runs and i'm glad to be riding, however now when the bike warms up, it dies at idle. not always, just about 70% of the time and it seems to be getting worse. when it is acting fine, the bike hovers around 1500 rpms, but alot of the time when i stop for a light the bike will end up dropping rpms till it dies. it'll also do this sometimes when i am coming to a stop and i am holding down the clutch. at lights when it starts to do this i either constantly rev the engine or just hold it at 2-3000 rpms ro engage the choke. when i do that the engine fluctuates up and down around 3500-4000. i just refilled the tank, the second tankful since the seafoam cleaning and the problem is still there. any help in where to look would be appreciated. the bike was sitting for about five months, i'm thinking when i cleaned out the carbs, i might have damaged something? or at least not calibrated everything properly? thank you for any help once again. tried to be as detailed as i can with all the symptoms and like i said, thank you

it def sounds like your carbs need a better cleaning or you possibly damaged them. what did you clean them with?
