Default Slight problem with new 05KFX400

I just bought the new 05KFX400, great bike, but yesterday when I was attempting to find my top end speed the SOB went dead on me. I was in fifth gear and still pulling when I had to slow down for a car, it went dead as soon as I let off the throttle. Any suggestions on what could have went wrong?

It still runs. Had to sit there forever trying to crank it but it eventually started back up. I am pretty sure it flooded out but I dont know why it would have flooded out just driving down the road like that? Think I will take it to the dealer.

Mine did the same thing one time. I added gas even though it didnt look that low. Never had the problem again.

kfx bikes look like they have gas in them, when in fact they don't must have the suction point up high, had a guy fight with me for 10 minutes till he turned the bike on reserver and the problem went away, he had the same issue
