i'd agree. don't ride the bike until you figure out exactly what is wrong. i melted a hole in a piston once due to the exact problem that mario suggested.
To check if it is a prob like this, spray aerostart (or aerosol carby cleaner) around the carbs and their rubber mount points and if the revs change up or down a bit, then it is a leak somewhere.
Either way it's best to check all the carb mount attachment points to make sure air isnt leaking through a seal, wormscrew attachment point or a hole in the rubber manifolds themselves.

If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.
