Jamie ,
Hi Richard. First I would say that the plugs are gapped incorrectly ( if you bought ngk plugs they are pre gapped ) if not the gap should be 0.024 to 0.028 inches on all 4 plugs.. assuming the plugs are ok I would next check the plug wires for cracks in the boots or wires. Also check to make sure the plug wires are fully seated on the plugs. If the bike has been sitting for a while I would definitely drain all 4 carbs to get rid of old fuel.. good luck hope this helps...
