Engine cuts off and on

I just noticed this on my last ride over lunch: While riding along, at low steady throttle, it seems like the gas to the engine is stopping and starting, as though I were closing the throttle all the way and then putting back at where I'm in fact keeping the throttle the whole time.
I just gassed the ride up this morning. It was almost empty and I filled it to the brim. Could it maybe be related to overfilling the tank? Could there be air in the line from running it all the way down?
It was a short ride, under 5 minutes, but the problem did seem to become less frequent as the engine warmed up.
Has anyone heard of anything like that? It's got 1070 miles on the odo, I changed the oil at 850, and I may have overfilled the oil a bit but haven't had any other problems with the bike so far.
Maybe it will go away on its own-- I'll try to pay attention on my ride home tonight and see if it goes away.
