Still need help if anyone has any ideas.

If you can start it without the choke, then it's likely running rich. (Assuming that it's not warm enough out to not need it).

It's a bit odd that the problem is happening in higher gears, it's more normal for the smaller jets that are used at slow speeds to clog as they're smaller. 3 turns out could be correct, 2.5 turns out is a generally suggested jumping off point for tune ups. An extra half turn doesn't seem unreasonable.

The proper tune for that is typically when the engine RPM no longer keeps increasing with further outward adjustment. You'd do a little at a time and follow it up with using the idle stop screw to drop the RPMs back down to spec and if necessary a carb sync.

But, if you don't have the ram air equipment set up, that alone would cause the bike to run rich at speed, even if it runs OK at lower speeds. The faster the bike goes, the more of a difference you should see.

Ok so I pulled my plugs and here they are, cylinders 1-4 left to right.
I Pulled the carbs off going to tune them again tomorrow.

I was too lazy to check my idle jet since honestly it’s running great at that range anyways.

My main jet is a 155! ?
I thought the stock was like a 200? Wtf?

Picture below of spark plugs.

Those spark plugs look pretty good. It appears that you haven't been riding rich for very long, which would suggest that things are properly adjusted, at least for lower speeds.

I'm not sure what the correct size is for your model, but if the carb has a smaller jet, it was probably rejetted either because the owner lived at a higher altitude or perhaps was hoping to conserve some gas. I live at sea level, but my understanding is that you go smaller as you get more elevation. Smaller jets would allow less gas out, which would achieve a better ratio for thinner air. Regardless, you'd want to replace it with stock and get that working, before considering rejetting.

Since parts of the carb are disintegrating, I'd get a rebuild kit before everything gets put back together. A decent rebuild kit should include stock jets. Get one that has nitrile rather than rubber for any gaskets and then just replace everything that the kit provides with the new gear.

Nothing in the carb was disintegrating, just the air filter for the float bowls.
I double checked my manual and found that cylinders 2 & 4 use a 158main cyl1 uses a 160main while cyl3 uses a 155main.

Going to make sure I didn’t get these mixed up on the wrong cylinders, I doubt that would mess with the top end that much tho would it?

I misread that. I pretty much always do a rebuild whenever I've got the carb out, or am messing with the jets, but it really depends on when it was previously done.

I suspect that if you installed the wrong jets that you'd have a very hard time getting them synced. My motorcycle doesn't use different jets, but I've only got two cylinders and the factory install has the pilot screws out by differing amounts. It doesn't surprise me that a more powerful engine with more cylinders would use different jets.
