Hi all, I tried searching but didn't find anything on this topic, maybe I'm using the wrong search terms. Was out riding yesterday, and in 1st and 2nd gear under at least 50% throttle, the bike would cut out like it was starved for fuel. When I let off the throttle and gave it gas again it would act normally. It was fine in the morning, I made a stop for about an hour, and on the way home it was doing this. A friend said maybe there is a kink in a fuel line somewhere? About the bike:

2009 Gladius, 12,000km
Bought last year from a dealership, they performed a full service and the only fuel related things they did were to repair/replace the fuel gauge
Tank is about 1/2-1/3 full, low fuel light came on when I pulled into the garage.
Bike has been trouble free since I got it August 2024
This tank of gas has fuel stablizer in it, I haven't yet filled it with 'clean' gas.

I don't think this is a serious issue to remedy, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
