I think the range of variables presented in this thread shows that it could be many things. It is likely that someone has fiddled with the carbs in some way in the past.

You need a benchmark to work from. This means working out what jet sizes are in the carb, making sure the needle position is correct across all of them, and making sure the mixture screw is set the same for all of them.

Just because it was standard when you got it doesn't mean it has always been standard. I always return my bikes to standard when I sell them, and sell any other bits separately. A noisy exhaust rarely increases the sale price of a bike, and will always sell on its own.
