Sounds more like one of your sparkplugs, or coils, or pickup trigger is cutting out, but if it is happening every two weeks it sounds more like storage problems (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=312.msg1730#msg1730); another thing is that, depending on where you're parking the bike is condensation must be getting to the coils and wires, and/or corrosion of the terminals.

Hope this helps.
