superhawk sputter???
it starts right up idles fine revs up fast. till it warms up . when i am riding it it sputters(falls flat on its face) sputters down and sounds like its miss firing. it pops and backfires like its not getting spark then it kicks back into full power then sputters. over and over again. this is a bad situation for me.

I had one do that on a old honda was the igniton trigger, only did it after it got hot and broke down the windings cooled off all fine again...
You could get a timing light and chk to see if your timing is erratic on the flywheel on the shifter side.

Greg,
j-bird has a couple post about his bike,not running correctly.
after looking at his post,i decided to tinker with my bike.
and found that my "coils were bad" well i pulled the plug boots off
the coil wires and found the boots themselves were no longer conductive.
i advise anyone having symptoms of bad coils to check theirs.
may not be a coil after all just a plug boot that retails for 15 bucks.

no fire at plug. the plug boot has a resistor and spring inside that lead to my prob.
coil is ok.
spark check is how i found i had coil prob.
investigating led to plug boots both of them.
i would advise anyone with coil probs check plug boots separate.
