Gummed up gas. Letting gas sit in there for a while will gum it up.

Clean that crap out really good. Make sure you spray carb cleaner and compressed air through all of your jets including you main and pilot. If it gums bad enough the machine will not even start/run.

Old gas. Try adding STP fuel stabilizer and see what happens, but best thing to do is a thorough carb cleaning. The bike will run better and have better throttle response
