    Hey guys, 
    Having a bit of trouble with my bike, its very new, just over 1000km on the clock. Under hard acceleration its missing/stuttering/hesitating.  Doesn't do it when its cold, only after warmed up and usually only sputters in the 5-7k rpm range.  Hasn't always done this only for the last few days.  Also notice a sputter if i hit a large bump or speedhump.  Actually going over one particular speed hump it just died, had to let it sit for a few minutes before it would start again. 
    This started after the bike was dropped, one of my staff moving it around the shop dropped it, no one admitted to it but the bent brake pedal and ding on the bar end was a pretty obvious giveaway. 
    The bike is a 2012 250s.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I can easily take it back to the dealership but if its something simple i wouldn't mind sorting it myself.
    Great site by the way, i've been reading as a guest for awhile, lots of useful info.
    Cheers

    check if the plug cap is on tight. also that kill switch did not get damaged.

    Plug was one of the first things i checked and it was fine, the kill switch looked ok so i went ahead and stopped by the dealership.  Took them a whole 45 secoinds to figure it out, carb boot had slipped off one side.  All sorted now.  Cheers

    Great to see it was a easy fix now you have the hard part to find out who knocked it over in the first place.
