Rough Idle and rough through RPM range as if there is a misfire somewhere

1999 R1100RT 33,000 miles. I put in new spark plugs, set the valves, balanced the throttle bodies. Everything seems perfect except there is a rough idle and when accelerating through the range of RPMs while stationary there is an audible misfire everywhere in the range. Checked the fuel injectors and it appears that the right injector shoots more spray than the left. Running heavy on the concentrated techron for a couplele of gallons. No improvement yet. Lunging is present more than my 2000 R1100R. Could this be bad fuel injectors? Should there be a motronic adjustment to the throttle bodies? Not quite sure how to solve this problem. I also cleaned the brass adjusting screws in the throttle bodies. Really caked up with carbon. Cleaned the ports for the adjusting screws as well. I would also note that power at lower RPMs (3000- 3500) seems lower than it should be. Any further suggestions? I don't detect any play in the valve in the throttle body either.
