High MPG but sluggish acceleration

Since the cold weathers kicked in I seem to be getting about 65 mpg on my cbr600, i'm not complaining but the acceleration feels a bit sluggish and yesterday it felt as though I ran out of fuel, I had to pull over and start the bike using full choke.

Do you think it needs the carbs re jetted because of the colder weather? They are due to be looked at in a couple of thousand miles according to haynes.

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Does it have a fuel pump? An inline-filter?

carbs slightly out of sync? Sounds like they have leaned out and need checking.
