Sounds like your carb is freezing. Remove your K&N Air filter and put your standard air box back on. See how it goes.

Put the standard filter on but still no joy.It is fine for about ten minutes the it just goe's shi*y when you put your foot down it sounds like a tank and takes ages to build up revs any more suggestions ?
