Could be a lean condition from a possible crank seal leak on the magneto side.

do a leak down test, you could have air leaks in the air boot, cylinder base gasket, cases not mating correctly, crank seals both sides or reed cage. on some bikes the clutch side crank seal can pull air. a leak down test is the only true way to find the leak. don't ride this bike until you fix it or you will be buying a new crank or worse cylinder, piston, crank and gaskets&seals. if you don't know how have a shop proform the test.
