I'm having this problem as well....and then the battery died. Luckly I was about a mile and a half from home. I tried popping the clutch (in 2nd gear), and it would kinda start up, but then as soon as I hit the brake, it would die again. I ended up pushing the bike most of the way.
I'm going to have the battery tested/charged/replaced. After that, I think the carbs are going to need to be looked at. What do you think the dealer is going to want to "deal" with this?
