Slowwwwly Dying.....

Hello, had my gz250 a few months now, it's always had a little trouble idling. Have to keep the rpm's up for a good while in the morning to keep it alive. My idle is set at a good level as far as I can tell but even when it's warm, sitting at a light the idle will very slowly creep down until the bike eventually dies. Once it does, it takes a good 20-30 seconds turning over with the starter before she comes back to life. (which is a long time when there's a pile 'o cars behind you

) I've checked the air filter and it looks great. Gonna take a peak at the spark plug tonight. Might need to clean the carb?? Little nervous on that one since I've heard bad stories of cleaners that eat all the seals away! Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
