Default 2000 Gixxer 750 running kinda rough.

ok i drove an 87 gixxer 750 for about 10 yrs, just recently picked up a used 2000 gixxer 750, it runs kinda rough at low rpms in first gear and is very jerky, bike sounds kinda gurgly and poppy when its at about 4k rpms, anything over 4k rpms it accellerates good. at a stop light it idles kinda funny and rough, not too smooth and when i rev it sometimes at a stop it will die. The engine has a hard time starting without choking it a bit after its been warmed up, and recently i have felt a loss of power and sounded like it bogged down a bit when giving her some gas while accellerating, kinda like the feeling if your about to run out of fuel, but had a full tank of gas, reason im asking is im kinda broke to take it into a shop and say make her run right, any ideas of some things i can do to try to make her run better? its my first fuel injected bike, thanks
