Did you get it fixed? I'm having a similar issue. Just started yesterday out nowhere.

Ya man... I changed all the ignition coils and now runs just like new !! I turned the bike on for 2 or 3 minutes and then sprayed the headers with water. One pipe didn't evaporate the water so one cylinder wasn't firing at all. Checked the olms on the ignition coils and that one was way off spec. The other 3 were off spec also. So I changed all 4 and now all better

I got mine online from babbits.. cheapest I found them for... And it was still expensive lol

Tested mine today. Seem to be in spec, but not consistent. #3 primary is much higher then the others at .4, so I'm thinking that one may be the offender. Any input from anyone? Sorry to highjack, but is still on topic

Coils

1- 5.50. .2
2- 5.06. .2
3- 5.35. .4
4- 5.36. .2

Hmmm... Turn the bike on for a few minutes and spray the headers with water using a spray bottle... See if one doesn't evaporate water at the same rate as the others. If the same header with the odd coil evaporates slower than the others then you have 2 things pointing at getting a new coil.

i did all the same first as well.. when my bike was running bad but not horrible it was still getting spark and all header tubes were equal. it was when 1 ign coil stopped working all together that the header tube stayed cold and the bike ran like complete shit. i would say change the 1 coil... cheapest option left and might fix it. also.... did you get your valves checked yet? you are supposed to at around 24k miles.

Did valves at about 20K. Gonna replace all 4. Found a deal on 4 used. we'll see.
