at the age of our bikes...look at the plug wires too...small cracks let moisture in....just my 2 cents.

Hello!

This summer I have problem with engine. I was made service (change oil filters, plugs,...). A month, it was work without problem.  Then start tugging. Usually, when bike stay a week, or more.
I start engine, heat the engine few minutes. It work normaly, with increase  hand throttle (like always). When I start to drive, the engine start to tugging (every few hunderd meters for secod or two, and then work normaly, and again)
It happen about 3-5 kilometers, than engine start to work normally.
It repeat about two month. Where is the problem?
Thank you and best regards from Slowenia

I may have misunderstood exactly what you are trying to explain, but I think you are saying that your bike cuts out for a second or two, then later it starts to run ok..

If that is correct the first thing to check is the spark plugs, take them out and look at them because you have just changed them..

Maybe you bought faulty plugs or the gaps have not been set correctly, maybe you over tightened them and cracked one, maybe the caps are loose, either on the plug or where they screw on to the HT lead, or maybe they are not fitted to the correct torque..10 ft lbs..
