have you checked the fuel tank breather??..not sure weather its at the filler cap or if its a tube from the bottom of the tank on this model. basically if it's blocked or obstructed it will cause a vaccuum to build up in your fuel tank thus causing fuel starvation.....about 15 minutes sounds just about right for the problem you are having.

some times it's caused by the cold air in the morning rushing through the inlets. this causes a bit of icing in the carbs ( mostly affects lower speeds and small throtle settings. )
i used to stop the bike for a minute after about two or three miles and allow the warmth of the engine permeate to the carbs.
obviously this doesn't occur in warmer weather.
