Looking for some ideas.
The bike currently has 60K miles and recently started running strange. I would best compare it to a 8 cylinder running on 7 cylinders. When I'm below 3000 RPMs, the engine shutters a little and makes what I'd call a fluttering sound on acceleration. Above 3000 RPMs, it feels almost normal.
My first thought was a bad spark plug so I purchased two new EOM spark plugs and they have been replaced. My second thought was maybe a bad plug wire so closed the garage door and turned out the lights to look for an ark from the wires to some nearby metal. I saw no arks. I have checked the oil level and it is good. One thing I have not checked is the air filter but would not expect such a drastic change overnight from a dirty air filter. I could be wrong.
I'm starting to wonder if it is a slightly clogged fuel filter but looking for ideas now. This idea come to mind because a new fuel station got put in 5 block from my house and I started using this station. They offer non-ethanol fuel so I switched over. That could be a coincidence or not. I would rather not just throw parts at it and would like to see what the community has to say.
Thanks in advance. This is my daily driver so would really like to get her running good again.
