Default Carb cleaning question

I posted recently about my '06 SS750 not running well after sitting for a while. It starts right up with full choke but when I turn the choke off it sputters and when I try to give it throttle it dies. I replaced the fuel filter but its doing the same thing. i also added sea foam and let it run but I doubt sitting letting it idle is enough and I can roll down the street in first but I can't give it any throttle without it dying so I'm thinking my carbs need to be cleaned. I'm good with my hands but I've never taked carbs out and cleaned the before. Is this something I might be able to do myself or should I see about taking it to a shop? Are there any walkthroughs on how to do this on my model bike? Any help and info is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Al
