Could be a 101 different electrical or fuel issues

The only similar symptoms I can recall on my bikes was caused by an air leak on a carb inlet balance pipe

on the grounds of doing cheap things first
it's not airlocking is it (leave tank open)
or fuel filter blocked type stuff

At least it's not the cam chain tensioner. 😕
