What type of fuel are you using . Does the bike sit for seasons at a time where it doesn't get to run. When was the last time you had the carbs apart and cleaned . If the bike sits for 5-6 month or longer the ethanol in fuel can cause a green film inside the carb . This film can form obstructions in the jets and close the size jet don to were it will idle but not enough fuel gets through to run the engine up to speed. If this is the situation be careful not to try to run the bike on the choke this can cause a lean burn that can damage the cylinder heads and pistons . Hope this helps
