welcome to the forum

sounds like the carbs need a good clean particularly the slow running/idle jets but you may as well clean the lot and check the seals and rubbers whilst your at it,
then give it another go and let us know

mine was doing similar things worse when it was hot , been told get valve clearance carb balance and check inlet manifold for air leak ...... im having mine done by local mechanic .....

I'd go with the idle jets being blocked so clean the carbs. It's a good idea to try and clean them anyway.
Have a look at the airbox and see if it's seating properly on the carbs, the rubbers get hard and then it won't fit on so the air leak causes the mixture to be weak.
