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.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
