2005 Kawasaki 900 bogs down?

[pbajeff]

05 Kawasaki 900 starts out great - but then bogs just as rpms get up. Hold the throttle and it will pick rpms back up - then do it again.

Pulled plugs and were pretty well fouled. Put new in and ran great for a couple hours, then started same thing again. Pulled new plugs and they looked like the old ones.

Is there something in the cooling system on these to throw the engine in an overrich condition? Think that could be the problem?

Any tips - ideas - suggestions certainly appreciated.

check the plug wires for corroded core wire very common with kawasaki, they will rot inside the rubber and work when the engine is cold, then start to misfire when it warms up.
