try swapping the coil packs over and see if the non running cylinder swaps sides

More than likely the valve seating `issue` making itself felt if a carburation or electrical problem isn`t found. Check all electrical connections, try what Phuk posted, drain both carb float bowls to see if it helps etc, etc.
I had an old Honda twin that would do it but once you twisted the grip it would cough a tad, clear it`s throat and pick up on two cylinders. Sadly when it got up to operating temperature the one cylinder `dance` would occur higher up the rev range too.
