Check the plugs are good, and the leads are attached well. For a minor issue a good run could make it better but you don't want to be riding around on 3 cylinders.

It could also be stale icky fuel , give it a thrashing and see if its going to improve. Always drain the carbs if your not going to use the bike for a while.
