Is your air filter dirty and are your jets clogged, Have you had the valves re-shimmed because it is new they will need shimmed eventually

it is not the filter it is very clean it is not the jets and, because i haven't put 10 hrs on it so i think it could be an electrical

More than likely your battery isn't holding charge.

its most likely your battery i had the same probley my bike worked mint nothing wrong and then the battery just went and it would try to start but the battery did not have enough power to turn the bike over enough to completly start it try to jump it and if it starts and stays going you know that its your problem.also if it ends up being your battery take it back to the dealer they will give you a new one if it is bad
