Sorry for being so late to reply, I have been away several months. My battery is the stock one, Lithium YTZ7S. I've only been able to get back to it today, I bought a new plug and no difference.
I picked up a service manual so help look over things, I am not mechanically minded (my 1st bike, and never worked on an engine before) I now realize there are other issues as well, today I checked over the wiring and a few areas are getting corroded, 3 of them to the point where just touching the wires snapped them from their connectors. A front indicator relay wire; a wire from the fuel on/off switch; and red wire in the voltage regulator had snapped off, I cleaned and re-soldered these however more seem to be corroded also. I will have to do an overhaul of the wiring and check what is affected.
As for other issues, I have a problem with my clutch and power loss. My clutch after even 10 mins of use gets really loose and holding it in doesn't disengage the gear, periodically it gets stiffer again and works, it doesn't have trouble shifting gears or slipping however. I will need to look at the clutch springs and plates, that I worked out. The thing buggering me I believe is related to the backfiring issues, there is some severe power loss. When dropping from top end gear to a lower end the bike drops power sometimes almost to a stall, trying to keep some revs up doesn't help and it takes a second or two for the accelerator to work. Going up in gearing lacks alot of power until very high revs, anything from a low to mid-high feels like a bike 1/3 of the size. This started happening when the backfiring started. It also stutters when idling or on low revs.
I have not done any services on the bike myself, only brought to dealer 4 times during my warranty. If I can get a general idea of possible issues and what I may need to look at would be great, I'm thinking of bringing it back to the dealer for a complete service, as reading from the service manual the amount of things needing replacing etc. the dealer hasn't done any of that for my first ~2000km, it's about ~3000km atm. and I'm really worried that a complete service is going to cost be half the price of what the bike is worth.

I don't have an iBeat kit, however I have been looking at getting one.
Exactly what mine is doing, this sounds like my problem. I looked through the service manual anything relating to the fuel pump but I got a bit lost. The only lead to the fuel pump through the 2-pin connecter next to the pipe which both connectors appear fine, I believe blue leads leads to earth and several others and and green/red leads to the coil/injector. So i'm not dumbfounded, do I check the connectors of coil/injector and everything along the blue wire as well (fuel level/fuel pump/RH-LH switch/regulator) etc, and all relating ECU connections?
