So the last couple times I went out after running her hard as I come to a stop once in awhile I get a sound like she's lost a plug or compression is dumping for a few seconds then all is well ? I can't find any problems nothing is loose and it runs great go figure?
I'd like to figure it out before I find a problem the hard way any thoughts?

Are the plugs shot? When was the last time you changed them? Plug wires? I know your TPS is good, it was set correctly a few weeks ago.

Almost sounds like crank gas(hot vapor) escaping? Have you done the breather tube mod? Have you checked the breather tubes at the top of the heads, or is it a louder sound?

I think I am gonna go ahead and do the breather mod as I really can't find anything the wires plugs are good the tps is spot on and the bike really runs great I have no oil leaking I was however riding with Don for like 4 hrs I think I may have just pushed her a bit hard and she pushed back a bit we wil see thanks for the input

Sorry man; but as long as the plugs are tight and you don’t have any oil leaks from obvious places such as: crank sensor, head gaskets I would say yea, do your breather mod. Just keep an eye on it.
Wait, I’m confused. Just looked at your profile and it say’s you have a lightning long, but shows you riding an 1125?
