Are you getting a good, steady sync for the throttle bodies, or does it move around?
TPS sensor is another thought.
Maybe a leak-down or compression check, if she has some big miles on her...
...edit: Check that the throttle advance/choke cable isn't hanging. This can happen inside the distributor box.

I have today managed to get the bike into my local BMW dealer - At no cost it was discovered to be the Stick coils - they sold me a pair from a bike in the showroom as they had none in stock. "Fantastic" - Problem sorted and back on the road earning money in less than 30 mins. Brill customer service. Thanks four your help folks

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
