You might try some Seafoam. Available at your local Walmart Automotive department or your local auto parts store. 1 ounce of seafoam to 1 gallon of fuel. Cleans it right up.

I removed my gas tank completely and drained the tank. Really not that hard to do. It is about impossible to siphon it all out. Off and on maybe an hour. This is of course if it is water and you do not have to remove the filter.
Being a brand new bike, I think I'd take it in to the dealer and tell them it's acting up. It would have to be some pretty bad gas to cause these kinds of problems " if " it is the gas. If your filling up at a normal gas station and not somebody's bucket in their garage then the chances of getting gas that bad is pretty low.I am trying to decide if that will be all that is needed. I guess it wouldn't hurt as the first step.
However, my bike acts more like it is some kind of debri. Once, on startup, the fuel pump light didn't do off by itself, and a couple of times when it acted up, the fuel pump light came on while going down the highway. Doesn't that sound more like a clogged fuel filter? However, why would it clear itself and run again for a while before acting up again?
I'll try to report back...

If the light came on when going down the highway and it kept running right, I would think more along the lines of an electrical problem rather than fuel.
I disagree. Put it in your snowblower. LOL. Gas in a can to hold it's octane level is only good for up to 3 weeks. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would never put gas in my bike if it was sitting for more than a month on the garage shelve.
