Carbed or FI? 6 months isnt that long, but if you had questionable gas before....I would drain tank and refill with premium. If that doesnt work and if carbed....drop your float bowl and see if there is debris in the bowl. If there is, it probably got sucked into your slow jets... clean em out.

There is more, but that should get you started.

I'd also get rid of the gas in the tank. Get some fresh premium gas. Fresh set of spark plugs and clean out the float bowl and jet passages. My 02 sits layed up from the middle of Nov. to about mid March. even after all the prepping for winter storage it still wakes up a bit rough. Balking , firing on one cylinder, and running rough. In about a week's time all the cobwebs are gone and she runs great. When starting a carbed bike you have to push in the enrichener **** when the engine warms up.
