Default 6K hesitation, only when in gear

hiya guys, I have a fun problem I need imput on
the nitty gritty is:

88 Yamaha FZ600
Sat for 2 years in a garage

What I have done so far:
new Plugs
fresh gas (tank was filled to the top so im hoping for no/minimal rust)
new oil/filter
thoroughly cleaned carbs
new battery

Got it running pretty strong...good idle...revs right up to 11 no problem
However when I take it out on the street I have no power right at 6K and up..
It has symptoms of goin way rich, backfiring like crazy when I let off the throttle up above 5500
Im most confused because its only when the bike is under load
any imput?
thanks

Noah
