Answer
You probably have a intake manifold leak at one of your heads. To check for a leak start the bike up let it warm up. Then with bike at an idle spray carb cleaner on the clamps where the intake manifold meets the heads all the way around on front and rear head if the bike rpms slow down or it stalls out you've got a leak. Let me know what you find out and we'll go from there.
