one more thought.. assuming you are numbering your valves like triumph does (#1 is the left most valve, as seated) then this idea is a waste of time but if not.. read on.

If you bike is on its side stand, which valves are the ones which are dirty, the higher ones in each port or the lower ones?
If you say the lower ones, then a bad crankcase breather device could be something to consider as well, assuming there is evidence in the airbox of oil residue from the breather. This has been a recurring problem for some people, which has a few different resolutions. On every simple solution was to take the hose from the breather to the airbox and (after plugging the nipple at the airbox) have it dump into a soda bottle tucked away somewhere, rather than dumping the oil mist into the airbox. Obviously this is not the right way to do it, but it works.
