Default 2007 Kawasaki zzr600

Just got this bike a few months ago its at 2200 miles, had it serviced at 600 miles, and ran fine until today. It had been sitting for a few days since it was raining and I went to start it up and the exhaust farted which it had never done before on a start. After that when I'm reving it, it's way louder than normal and vibrates. Also, first gear has alot less power behind it at times.

I assume this is probally a fouled plug but it was in a locked garage where no one could of touched the throttle and I didnt flood the engine when i started it up. So why would a brand new bike do this, I dont have a service contract so basically if it is fouled plugs I'm screwed since I dont have the money to replace the plugs.

Any help would be much appreciated.
