I'd seriously check the air box, he's right about "critters"... Beyond that, pull the plugs and check if they are fouled. Look for a possible vacuum leak, perhaps a line fell off or had a crack that has gotten worse. Check, the fuel filter, I don't think you mentioned that. You haven't washed the bike recently have you? Sometimes water can get into connections at the ECU which can cause these problems. Especially if you have add on programmers... Make sure your plug wire connections are good and triple check that the choke isn't stuck open. Oh and if you have those carbs with the diaphragms on the side, make sure you don't have a hole in one of those.

Didn't wash the bike, it's been under a bike cover for the last month. The bike is also bone stock. I'll pull the plugs tonight to check or color.
