Define slow a bit better, what kind of speed and in which gear.

Evenish money is that the bike feels snatchy when you're in say 2nd 3rd at less than 30 and accelerating.
If it is then there's two things to look at.
Chain tension needs to be very close to just right, also has an effect on selecting neutral when at a standstill.
The gearing is a bit long on most of the monsters, noticable on all and a bit worse on the 5 box 750's. Something like a 15/41 sprocket combo tends to help massively. Chain a bit slack just magnifies it.
If you drop a gear or dip the clutch when it happens and it feels better then as they say that's the badger, it's often called character LOL

If not just clean the carp out of the carbs and bodies
