Sounds to me like it may be flooding.  If you are not a bit of a motor heard you may want to take it to the shop. But if you want to try to fix it..

First off did you just buy it? If so where did it come from? bikes sold in different areas of the country come with different jets installed in the carbs. So if you live in the mountains and the bike came from sea level it needs smaller jets..

Next has the bike sat for a LONG time if so then the floats may be stuck or "gummed up" Pull the float bowls off and check for varnish in the bottoms if you see any, you need to remove the carb and clean them out including the main jet passage and the idle jet passage.

Hope this helps..........
