well this is what is going on my bike when i ride seems like it is not firing off of all cylinders. it does it off and on and i will take the airbox off and put it back on and its fine then i ride for awhile and it does it again.. i thought maybe it was a wire that was touching the airbox and moving around but i looked at them when i put it back on and they r not touching anything.. im begining to think that its the ignition coils going bad if im on track let me know or if anyone knows what the hell is going on let me know b4 my next thread is about a bike that was blown up .
thanks

Plugs in good shape?

Could it be doing it only when it gets hot?

i think it does it when its hot and the plugs have some carbon on them but they still have a gap and they still fire when the box is off

they still have a gap

A gap? Is it the correct gap? When plugs get worn, the gap gets too big. That can cause exactly the problems you mentioned. Opening the airbox changes the mixture, which could be a temporary fix.

stick a screw driver at the end of the plug and fire up the engine and see if u see a spark. Do this for each plug u have... becarefull it hurts if u get shocked

Aw, you ain't been shocked, till you been shocked by a
Keith Black magneto. ."get up off the floor, boy, and
wipe off them pants"

change the spark plugs, its not expensive, and its just routine maintaince.

You should know that they don't come pre-gapped. You have to do that yourself.
