Default GasGas EC 300 Racing - Spluttering

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help me? I have just purchased a new GasGas EC 300 Racing and right out of the box it has a very bad splutter when accelerating. When accelerating (With the Mapping Switch in either position) in all gears, the initial acceleration is OK (for a second of so) and then it starts to splutter and the only way to go faster is to change up a gear, but it all jerky and hit and miss. There is a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust and the back end of the bike is covered in oil from the exhaust. My guess is that its running too rich. No jets or Carb settings have been touched ie. Its all at factory settings. Further information is, its Winter here and is between 0 and 10 Deg C, plus we are at 100m above sea level, so all is fairly normal.... Is it normal to receive a GasGas in such a state and, does anyone agree that its running too rich, if yes to the latter, What are likely to be the main causes? Thanks.
