Anyone one have an antenna, mount, and cable they could part with? I installed a cd player in my bike but I can't get any radio stations without an antenna and cds skip too much.

Ok so my wife and myself took a little trip up the parkway this weekend on our bikes. I have been haveing some mild trouble with the venture and have eliminated either the battery or the stator by haveing the battery replaced and the stotor checked at the dealor. Also had new plugs installed at the same time. The trouble is annoying but not so much it cant be delt with. What the problem is,is that when you ease the throttle over you get a little skipping and then a sudden surge of power. If you just go ahead and get on the throttle strong then the problem either doesn't exist or can't be felt. This is where things get a little fuzy for me. Until now I've been thinking synch job, But while on the parway about 400 miles into the trip the tach decided it was going to work. I figure short in the wirring or something. But I also notice that the skip and surge have completely dissapeard. After an hour or so the tach stops working and the skip, surge returns. I took her out for a short ride today and the same thing acured. Tach started working and efectively lost the skip /surge but this time I took it easy just to see. She was skip/surgeing but not as noticeable. maybe my imagination but being a rooky to this bike this is what I feel when I ride her. Any help would be gretly apperciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. the tach quite working again and the skip/surge returned although not as bad this time . Like I have already said could be my imagination. Thanks in advance David

I am having a problem with the area just above coasting and pulling. If I am running on flat ground with just enough throttle to maintain speed, at say 30 to 45mph, I am getting a constant skip, but not like a single dead cylinder. When I give it just a little more throttle, it smooths out and pulls fine. I have been thru the carbs recently and cleaned the pilot valves and everytrhing else. I have also synced them again today and they also look good with the rpm's up to 3,000 to 4,000. I have tweaked on the mixture screws, starting at 2 1/2 turns out and really can not tell much difference when turning them in or out. I have also worked on the diaphrams and have no holes. I also ran a full can of Sea Foam thru it today. Is there any suggections? Denden, are you listening? RandyA
