QUESTION: something new and its all stock, the spark plugs are gray and dry

Answer
Sounds like you either have a intake leak or your intermediate jet is slightly plugged. You can check the intake by starting the the  bike  and spray a little carb cleaner around the intake. If the RPMs go up, then you have a leak
Good luck and happy riding
