Sounds like a fuel problem. You did have the gas on and didn;t run out etc I am assuming, so the first thing I would do is drain out that gas and put in a new batch it may be contaminated.

Make sure you did not run out of gas.....lol......seriously those fuel tanks are very deceiving...... they look a lot more full on first glance than they really are. Yamaha shaped that tank so that when you look straight down it looks full almost all the time. But most of the fuel can be gone and you can still on quick glance think you see more there.
