Rob,
That's one I would take back to the dealer for resolution. As long as it's under warranty, let the dealer figure out what's wrong. To easy to screw up sensetive electronics, and then the expense is on you. Just my opinion.

Is the bike completely stock? If so, you may have gotten a bad batch a fuel and now things are gummed up some. If you don't have an idea of any situation where you may have caused the problem then you should get it into the dealer and let them sort it out.

Is this after getting the replacement ECU? If so, you should contact your dealer. Kawasaki has admitted that a few reprogrammed ones might not be right and you should get a new one.
