    Check the spark plug, too--I had a bike cut out and it seemed like a fuel delivery issue and it ended up being a fouled plug. Being so new, is there a warranty still in effect (if there was one)?

    if it's the original chinese plug they're not renowned for being great!
    replace it with a nice new ngk plug gapped correctly.
    Have a look at the plug you take out and check what colour it is as that may also give you some clues as to what's happening.
    post up with the results.
    useful plug colour chart info

    Thank you White for clarifying much further what I wrote--If your plug is a funny color, there could be issues with the bike running too lean or too rich, etc. as the chart posted by White shows. Let us know how it turns out!!
