Ok so ill try and explain this the best i can.
Everything worked fine on my 300 plus ride yesterday.
Got home let the bike cool down about an hour, and proceeded to wash and clean all the bugs off it.
Went to bed woke up this morning and started up the bike backed it out of the garage, and i noticed the idle seemed "funny" i.e. it sounded like it had an intermittent misfire at idle, so i thought ok weird but lets see how it runs.
Pull off down the street and it stuttered a bit when i accelerated hard.

Got onto the hwy and if i full throttle it it just falls on its face ,stays running but just cuts out and barely runs, let off and at half throttle it seems ok but when i decelerate it pops really bad and backfires. sometimes now at idle it will stall too.

Go thru the things i have done and checked.

1 ground fix (again) just to be sure
2 trimmed ends of wires into coil, with dielectric grease
3 checked plugs looked ok not burned or corroded.
4 backfires flame at the throttle body with the air cleaner off.

mods that have been on here for a while

power commander usb
V&H bigshots
barrons Big air kit
