yep the problem is the air coming in forced in to the carbs drops in temp, and then freezes in the jets or something. Plus if the carbs are cold to start with this effect is made worse.. if you can warm the air going in to the filter or warm the carb bodies to keep the temp up then the carb icing will go away. When you stop the whole effect goes straight away as your not drawing in the air. The more you push the bike the worse it gets. Though I did find if I really pushed the speed right up enough warm air cam off the engine to heat everything up.
Well I think thats how it all works....
