When your gas gets low it will do that. The fuel system is a gravity feed system. It requires the weight if the fuel itself to feed the carbs. It is also possible for the the bike to slow down while riding on a flat surface if the fuel is too low. The carbs tend not to fill up as fast. Any amount of throttle more than 1/4 results in a non response. The jet needles tend to start moving at this point and the carbs draw more gas. Low gas, go slow.
