Yamaha Virago 535

I have a 1996 Yamaha Virago 535 with 2600 miles on it. The bike is seldom ridden and sat idle for several months. It now has a little skip or miss at low rpm. It accelerates fine and runs well at higher rpm. I've changed plugs and gas, filling it with stabilized high test to which I've added carburator cleaner. The problem has not gone away. I suspect the carburators should be removed and cleaned. I would appreciate any suggestions on what the problem might be and also where I could obtain instructions on engine and/or carburator repairs.
