Do you do a lot of short trips? How long do you let it warm-up? Short trips and extended idling for warm-up will cause a rich mixture, but extended riding should burn it off. Once it's fully warm, do you rev it often or run it at lower RPMs mostly?

I would add some fuel system cleaner like Techron Concentrate (1oz per gal) to the next tank or 2.

If it's none of the above, I would expect a leaky injector might do it.

EDIT: Don't run 20W-50. No need for it. Synthetic oil is better, heavier oil is not.
