If you shut off bike and dont shut fuel off 1 and 2 carbs can spill over into intake.Then when you use choke in morning and bike is still leaning on kickstand you get a very rich condition this is hard to locate with 4 into 1 exhaust but very obvious with 4 in to 2, If I have cold start issues like wont start I use starting fluid and it saves my battery everytime.Try shutting fuel off then run some out of carbs then shut motor off,when you start bike sit on it and keep it level so left side dosent load up.
