Seem to be a lot of bikes on here recently with miss-fires, stutters etc (mine included). Is this just the price we pay for running older bikes? Could it be that 10 year old plus bikes are just experiencing electrical problems from the materials in old components (coils, HT leads, plug caps, wiring) degrading, and perhaps old fuel systems gumming up a bit? (have heard of people doing some pretty thorough carb cleaning etc, but then still having problems - when professionally cleaned after, problems cured). Just wondering.
