My bike only idles with choke on.  I also cuts out when i give it throttle.  Do i need to just clean the carbs?

Thanks

   G'day Mike, sounds like you have blocked pilot jets. A carbie clean is due by the sounds of it. I do know of a couple of instances where
a bottle of injector cleaner additive has done the job without carb removal. It maybe worth a try.
