I'll put a shiny penny down that one or more of your choke plungers/cables are sticking.
The bike only starts well when cold, and runs badly when starting warm, I'd guess the idle is set a little low and the choke is slightly on. Carbs back out, choke plungers out, make sure the recesses are clean and the plungers ping in and out with a movement from the lever before you put them back in. Of course, I could be talking cobblers, but it's where I'd start... Jambo

My curvy did that too. I stuffed it back where it was supposed to be, sealed it and covered it with electrical tape secured with some light safety wire. It's worked fine for years now, I just look at it every once in a while to see it's still OK.

Glad the issue was obvious, makes up for all those ones that take ages to find and then turn out to be 2 or 3 little things occurring at the same time
