I noticed as well early on in the ride that it wasn't as smooth on tiny throttle openings, prettty sure it's related, so some fresh fuel tomorrow and oh no, I'll have to go for another test ride. :D

How long does it sit?
Fuel loves to gum up on bikes, partly because of heat, partly because they sit (carbs).
General rule with a bike - use things like gas stabilizers, or drain the carb when parking and add some fresh gas.
A carb guru I know swears by 1/2 ounce of 2 cycle oil in the gas tank, and a short ride, just before parking. This helps prevent fuel gumming up in the carb.
