Sounds like jetting.
Do a plug reading. Take your bike out somewhere that you can run wide open. Run the bike wide open in 5th gear and hit the kill button. DO NOT close the throttle. Keep the throttle wide open until the engine stops turning over. Be careful not to let the clutch out until you are completely stopped. If the engine turns over you will get a false reading on the plug.
Remove the spark plug and inspect it. It should be a light brown to tan in color. If it is too dark you will need to go leaner or smaller on your main jet. If it is white or has little shiny dark specks on the porcelain, it is too lean and needs a bigger main jet.
