On my ride today I noticed the bike started missing at 5,500 rpm then 5000 rpm and finally at 4,500 rpm. It just kept getting worse and my top speed dropped to 60 mph. I am thinking it is electrical, plugs, plug wire, coil or something along those lines. It cleared up and ran fine until I got home then it just died.
Any ideas? TIA, Frank

Check your intake boots. They always like to pinch on me when I install 'em...either that or the carb boot is my usual culprit.

Bastard. My S1W hasn't been out of the garage since...lessee....arg. October. Damned salty roads.

I replaced the carb and intake boots about a year ago. It has been running great until now.

sounds electrical to me also.. Ignition, plugs, wires or coil.

Crap in Gas?
Vent valve?

I also remember another post where the tank vent was at fault and the motor pulled the fuel down enough to create vaccuum in the tank.

It turned out to be bad plug wires.

Thanks for all the help.

Nice. At least it was cheap and easy.
