Was the bike ok when it reached full temperature? If so it could be carb icing if not then it is a different problem.
Drain the float bowls as a precaution and check the fuel filter for water, The fuel filter is relatively large as it lies on its side and can hold water.
A common problem with the 600 Fazer was blocked coolant pipes in the carbs from new, apparently from little bits of swarf which was not cleared, mine being one of them and I had the carb icing problem until I cleared the blockage. I would advise you to cleck the coolant pipes in the carbs are flowing freely.
I have cleared 3 and some had to have a piece of stiff wire pushed throught to dislodge the swarf. All have been fine since. It is important to clear the blockages with the rubber pipes off as the swarf can get stuck in the rubber. Make sure you can blow through the pipes in both direction before refitting
Giving the bike about 3 or 4 minutes to warm before setting off will also prevent the problem
