ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher at hand when working on carburetors.
Drain the carburetors. There should be a screw on the lower side of each carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Is there any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Is there any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, (not all bikes have a water trap bowl). Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carbs to fill with gas. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetors from the engine.

FOR EACH
carb > Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the idle screw and the air screw on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two adjusters down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each adjuster one and one half turns outward. Before putting the slides back in the throat of the carbs, Move the clip on the jet needle one notch lower. Put the rest of the
carb back together and install the carbs. Sync the carbs such that the slides on both carbs move at the same exact instant when the throttle is slowly turned from idle speed. This process should get you back on the road.

Mine is a 2003 Yamaha Silverado, with only 2000 miles. The bike went unused for the past two years. I can get it started, but when I give it throttle, or shut off the choke, it stalls. Why, and what can I...

The problem is going to be plugged up jets and circuits in the carbs. Evaporated gas has left a varnish buildup inside the carbs. Condensation inside the carbs and gas tank has also left a mess. The carbs will need to be removed and cleaned. This is best done by a shop if you have no experiance in balancing the carbs after re-mounting them.

Bike cuts out at higher RPMs

It sounds like you did a good job - but, did you adjust the float? You will use more gas now and at high RPM you may be running ouy of gas - Check floats specs and adjust

V-star 1100 custom stalls when dropped into 1st gear

Check the switch connected to the kickstand. A lot of bikes will not allow you to have the bike in gear when the kickstand is down and if that switch/relay goes bad, it can result in exactly what you are describing.
