    So the bike will start and drive all the way to redline but it gradually starts cutting out at dropping rpms. Then will only go past 5k if held open but isnt too happy about it.But it will rev past it in neutral or clutch pulled(still not happily though) Ive isolated it to the two center cylinders and everything ohms out like it should.Plugs are gapped right and the look fine and are like 6 weeks old. My question is without a scope can I see if my tci is sending out a signal to my right coil as well as if my pickup is working right. This is a recurring problem but it goes away after a while but randomly happens again and Ive noticed lately its been after a damp/humid/rainy ride but never does it while in the weather only after it has sat and cooled. I know to check the coils I can use a spray bottle but before it shows up I have to ride for about a minute or two and dripping gas doesent like hot engines.

    You may have bad resistor caps. They hate moisture and are a cheap easy replacement. I might be wrong. But for around $10 to replace all it's worth a shot.

    Well I swapped plug ends with another set I had from the previous owner and It fixed it but to see if it really fixed it well have to wait until probably friday or sunday when the weather breaks to see if it fixed it for good.cross fingers
