- September 04, 2013, 04:04:00 AMThank you for suggestion.
The bike is year 2002 and 50.000km (about 31.000 miles).
The engine was not cold, I usually few minutes heat engine before drive.
I was chech spark plugs, it was right model and look good. I think, spark plug is not problem.
May be cable, spar plug cap??? It was factory install (11 years old).
Sutter is only under load (when I start to drive), when I rev it up (heating engine before drive), work well.
Dry or wt weather does not matter.
I must check fuel flow (vakum or fuel filter), it is possible problem. But, I must first find fuel filter 
FI lamp does not lite.
I was forget to write, it was happened first time last year, at the end of bike seazon. After service this year, work a month well, than start problem again.
Thank you for now. If you have any suggest, you are welcome. I will try to resolve problem follow your instruction and report.
regards, Zlatko

Does it stutter under load or also when you rev it up without driving?
Is it in dry or wet weather? Or doesnt it matter?
You could also check your fuel flow, or perhaps your tank is sucking itself vacuum. Open up the fuel cap.
Does your FI lamp lite up on the speedometer when you have the problems? You can check for ECU faults accodring following procedure: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/ECUFaultCodes.html

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
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..
