98 ZX6R Ninja carbs issue!

Whats up guys. I need some advice on a situation.
For about 3 weeks now I have been working on a buddys bike, a 98 Kawasaki ZX6R. Everyting is mechanically sound on the bike, but im having a problem with what I think are the carbs.

When I start up the bike and do the choke process everything runs fine. Its when im riding and I shift into 2nd gear where the problems begin. When I hit about 8000 rpms in second the bike begins to bog out. Im cracking the throttle but there is little to no power! Also when im comming to a stop at a light the bike just shuts off while im downshifting. I thought it may have been due to old gas, so I put some fresh gas in the tank along with some fuel stabilizer. Im still having the same issues. Could this be a Carb problem?

The guy my buddy purchased the bike from said the carbs have been recently cleaned. My question is what are the steps I can take to solve this issue. Is there a fuel additive I can purchase to help this out, or do I have to get the carbs clean?

Thanks for your help guys.

Corey
