check the rear tyre pressure and make sure that the seat is dry, i have never owned one of these but that would be my guess

Who's this Joker...

Anyway back to the problem at hand. I've booked the bike into TSS... Hopefully they find the problem and it isn't too expensive.

Anyone wanna buy a perfectly good CDI unit...

Dude Im sorry I diddnt see this sooner--I have the same bike and had the EXACT same problem.
Short version--you have blocked filters INSIDE your carbs -blowing air into em aint gonna fix it

Long version
Remove the carbs -pain in the ass jobe but not overly complicated
Tank off top of airbox off -6 screws-2 semi hidden at front of airbox. unscrew bottom of airbox from carb set. -4 screws.
loosen off 2 top hoseclips on carb inlet rubbers.
Pull the carbs up and slightly back
Turn carbs upside down.
DO THIS 1 CARB AT A TIME
undo 3 screws hold float bowls on.
remove float bowl -
you will find a float like a loo cistern inside pivoting off of a 2cmx3mm pin
knock the pin out sideways and GENTLY remove the float and needle jet
using a 10mm socket remove the jet seat under it.
Be carefull not to loose the washer on the bottom of it.
When you remove this you will see a mesh filter on the end of it which will be all gunged up with shite. You can pull this off of the end of the jet. Blow it out with compressed air. and possibly a liuttle bit of petrol
Whilst in there remove the 2 jets--the pilot u remove with a screwdriver the main youll need a 8mm socket. Down the sides of these are tiny little holes you should at the correct angle be able to see light through all these holes.
If not clean em out.
I would blow compressed air all through all the orifices I can see in the carbs especially down the inlet tract.
Once youve done this put the whole plot back together making sure the inlet needle is in place
Ill put a heap of mooolah on the table that this fixes ya problem
