Most likely water and debris in you floats from scavenging the remaining gas and water from the bottom of your tank. Drain the bowls firstly, easy to do. For ****s and grins, take a peak at the drained contents in the glass jar that you drained the bowls into. What do you see?

+1^^^ But if the gas looks clean you might debris in your petcock screen.

thanks,this site is great i look forward to being a part of these forums i was actually in the process of painting this bike it is now primed.whan i was taking everything off i accidently cut a blinker wire...could this problem be from charging system ? checked the gas there was no particles anymore i guess it had already sucked everything up..do i need to change the spark plugs and clean everything out now ..what all could have got trash in it? i havent checked the fuel filter yet when it drives it goes up to 4-5 rpms then shoots all the way down then shoots back up and jerks all over the place .....thanks for the advice

Definitely fix the electrical first. A lack of juice will cause a bike to flat on its face. Then go to the fuel setup after that. Let us know
