Hey,
 
Welcome to the forum.
 
This topic would get a lot more responses in the FZS1000 section. Might want to post it in there instead.  ;)

I had a similar experience turned out to be dodgy connection to the spark plugs you could try taking the caps of cleaning them up and trying again, others recommend trimming off a bit of each lead too.
