This might be a stupid question but it helps to have as much info as possible. Are you using the choke to start the bike? And if so are you leaving it on for the first few minutes after you take off?

I know when I first start my ninja for the day and if I don't use the choke and try and take off it kinda hiccups.

If I was you I would definitely clean the carbs and then run some Seafoam through a tank of gas.

Goodluck!
