Common stall causes?

I have a Triumph Tiger 1050 and lately with the cold mornings it has stalled a couple of times, it's always started fine though, it's just when moving off, it seems to require a bit more throttle. It's a 2010, in great condition and ran fine all summer. My last bike always started fine on the cool mornings and no stalling and that was a Z750S an inline 4.

Could it be the air filter? It's not been changed since I had the bike and maybe the previous owner didn't do anything to it. Seems there may be a little lag in throttle response to me too.
 
Good to check all the regular tune up stuff... Plugs, wires, fuel/air filter. Could just be some off gas.
 
I have 2 Triumph 1050 triples and I know that when cold they will stall. You need to let it warm up a little more in the cold weather. Cold blooded engine it needs to be up to temp before riding away.
 
I used to put a waffle maker under my bike for 40-50 minutes with the cover still on the bike in cold weather to warm it up, I did not want to wake the whole apt. building up at 5:00 am warming up my bike, have also used hair dryers and heat guns. Warms the seat up a bit too.

BRB bringing my hairdryer to a trackday to warm up my tires.
 
Is that bike carbed?
Is your idle properly adjusted?
