Sounds like you have a clogged main jet in one or both carbs. The bike is running on the pilot jet to about 2500 rpm. After that the main jet kicks in also. I would take the bike back to whoever charged you to clean them. It doesn't miss when it's cold because you probably have the choke ( fuel enricher ) on and it is feeding more fuel to the carbs.

There are two ignition signal pickup coils behind the outer stator cover on the left side.
They feed a signal to the "ignitor" on the back of the battery box, which in turn signals the igniton coils.
The rear coil is bolted to the front of the battery box, and the front coil is under the left side neck cover.
Check the spark plug wires for poor insulation and "leakage" by starting the engine in a dark location and see if you can see any sparks around them.
Spraying a fine mist from a water bottle onto the wires may help find the miniature light show.

New wires have helped some members here. But if your bike was kept undercover or in a garage, a 2004 model is not really that old to be a prime candidate for damaged/deteriorated plug wires IMHO.

I only understand what I don't understand.

The rpm range you just gave is the needles, the next question is are you rich or lean? Does it pull fine when cold but warm up and then starts missing? If so thats rich, have you done any changes to the bike? Were there any shims on the carb needles?
