You might have got some from the bottom of the tank at the gas station. Also this time of year some states require the use of more additives. The additives don't work as well.

Plus most gas now has upto 10% ethanol and ethanol mixes with water so it soaks it up like a spong from the air.


Most bikes these days have a easy to adjust idle knob on the side of the bike some where you should check into that. I adjust my idle almost everytime I ride as the weather changes during the day. I also turn it up pretty high during trackdays to reduce wheel hop. (2500-3000)
