use the secondary jets (use the choke) and see if it fixes or helps
and check your oil because that can be a huge issue with oil cooled bikes.

And also check for correct ---
Spark plugs
Spark plug heat range
Spark plug gap
Missing or damaged air filter
Leaking carb intake hoses (between carb and airbox)
Oil level -- too high or too low
Oil viscosity -- too low (thin) or too high (thick)
Brakes dragging
Carb holders (between carb and engine)-- damaged, cracked, or loose. Clamps tight? Vacuum plugs sealing okay?
Service float bowl fuel level (perform clear plastic tube test)
Air pressure in tires
Obstructed engine cooling fins
Clogged muffler
Wheels turning free (bearings okay)
Good Luck!

It can be from the carbs if the fuel mixture is too lean. clean your carbs or adjust fuel air mix screws. I don't know what bike you have so I can't tell you where those are!
