I'd check plugs and wires first. Good burn makes plug a light tan.

I'm thinking plug or wire connections to and from plugs.

Have the valve clearances been checked lately? Having "tight" valves can mask other conditions.

I would start with plugs, fuel treatment in the tank like seafoam etc.. and a new air filter. If this doesnt clear it up, you might want to check to make sure your main jet is not messed up or idle jet on the carb.

Think that bike is F.I.
