Hi Paal

The most reasonable thing is that one of the carbs does not work correctly. If the bike is paused for winter and the carbs are not emptied (what is recommended) the jets may be plugged. Dismounting the carbs and cleaning all jets with a piece of wood (match or tooth-cleaner) may help. Also checking the synchronisation of both carbs may help, but normally this does not self-change. The tools for checking synchronization are not expensive. If you are not familiar with such works I´d recommend to have a look into the Clymer book.

Kind regards
