          Did you do a plug chop at the same throttle position as when it's "surging"? Hold it at that point for several seconds and then pull the clutch in and hit the kill switch. Coast to a stop and see what the plugs look like then.

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.
