i am pretty sure you will find that is carb icing mate, what can you do, not a lot, but i think there is an additive you can get.

Pro FST additive, failing that if its a cold day try sticking some socks in the air intakes ;)

Mine used to do that when it was raining, just sprayed it with WD40 and it cleared up !

Silkolene Pro FST.. best thing ever invented. Had the same problem on my Srad, and cleared it right up...

Pro FST definately. Also by revving it when it tries to die you actually make it worse. Best cure is to turn off the engine for about a minute and let the heat melt the ice.
