Did you fill the tank to the top and add stabilizer? If not, the fuel is the first place I would look.

If the tank hasn't been full there's a good chance condensation has formed. Completely draining the tank and floatbowls (look at the fuel that comes out) and refilling is the best solution.

What gas are you using? Because you are in WI, you may be able to get ethanol-free 87 octane at Cenex stations. Gas without ethanol is always a good idea if you can get it. The Ninja will make the most power and get the best economy on ethanol-free 87.

Check under the seat for anything that may be blocking the intake snorkel. Look to make sure no critters moved in and made a home in the airbox over the winter also.
