bike 2 runs lean when it first is started. I would start by cleaning the carbs and looking at the jets on that bike. If cleaning did not solve the problem, then get one size larger pilot and mid range jets should. also take a look at the airbox for cracks, damage etc. Then make sure the filters are clean and the rubber manifolds are soft and pliable.
Usually if the engine runs bad when it’s cold, but runs good after it’s warmed up, then you have a lean fuel mix. You probably have some varnish or dirt in the pilot jets.
