Isn't warranty 1 year? So isn't it still on warranty??? If so, make it the dealers problem.

Suzukis are famous for having problems with the fuel petcock, which is run off of vacume from the carb. Put it in on PRI, and see if the problem goes away.

If it idles OK but cuts out when on the throttle, it sounds like water in the gas. All gas has it. When sitting for a while, the water can settle in the bowl. Try draing the bowl and let gas run though it for a second or two and then try it again.

My rear shock blew a couple of weeks after it went off warranty, but good excuse to get some aftermarket ones!

Thanks for the help, LTZ400guy nailed it on the nose. I cleaned the carb and it runs like new again. Time to pipe it!!
