new starting issue

So its been my experience that every once in a while when starting my bike cold it will immediately die. It then will turn over a few times and fire up, good to go. The last couple of days its been a little different. Whether cold or not, I start the bike, it runs for a few seconds at idle, then idle drops and dies. Trying to start it again and it struggles, spits and sputters. Does this a few times then starts and runs normal. Like I said it will do this sporadically even when warm. Its been about 3000 miles since valve adjustment, and I have had issues with the dyeing coming to a stop resolved by adjusting the valves. Just seems to be a little different than that to me. Anyhoo, just throwing it out there to see if anyone might have an idea. Thx!!
