Have you checked the float level in the carb? May be suffering from fuel starvation. Also have a look at the vent hole in the tank filler cap.

fuel starvation is my first guess

check the hose and petcock
one of my bmw bikes had a problem and it was sorted to the cork in the fuelcock
was clogging up the fuelcock when it was open not allowing good flow
