Ok it was not a "Bad Gas" problem 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
Heres the new rundown guys, after workin an the bike last weekend when I thought it was "BAD GAS" it apparently was not. I spent all day detailing the bike to take the wifey out for a date night, went out to eat, came outta the resturant and ripped the throttle, and then.......spit and sputter what the not again...instantly pissed was puttin it mild. So much for date night. So i rode it home on one cylinder for about 20 miles, then called up bhunters son, a.k.a....the mad scientist... the guy can fix anything. Well he came over and he checked it out, it idled fine, but as soon as you twist the throttle it would fall on its face. He checked spark and the front left plug would loose spark as soon as you would give it gas. we took the tank off to check the coils again, last week when I checked them the ohmed out fine. But we found a new problem, the boot for the eletric conection for the coil had a bare spot rubbed in it from the throttle cables and grounding it out when it would be under a load. we sinply put a little bit of eletrical tape on the boot and moved the throttle cables in the strap right above the coil and runs fine, so theres a little heads up for everyone if they have their tank off to check the boots on the coils and clearance or the throttle cables

It's usually something simple, but finding the problem is the hard part.
