Clean your Carbs

I cleaned them 2 months ago but i will do it again i hope that fixes it

from what you describe it sounds like a carb issue. I have seeen carbs that were cleaned a month ago have issues. The gas is just crappy.

How bought a fouled spark plug ? On a triple feel each cyl. & exhaust after it starts to get warm ,a cold cyl. & ex. will point out a foulded plug?This may help.

One problem I had on my 650 was the red kill switch on the handle bar. It was shorted out I by passed it and the problem was gone. Of course this is a safety issue but a safety tether from the motorsports store was cheaper then a new kill switch.

I cleaned the carbs and it made a huge difference. but now its kinda doggy getting up to 5000 rpms after that she rips and about every 40 miles i got to swap around the plugs because it will start dogging out all around so i will look at the plugs and put the dirtiest one in the cleanest one and then she runs crazy again after 5000 rpms.
