The best signal that I found was at the cabins in the hill and you had to stand on a table to.

I wanted to let everyone know that the cause of the problem was in fact the coil controlling the front cylinders. As you would rev the bike, the spark would then die. just idling the spark would be weak, but anything above that. the spark would die off.
Special thank to those of you how help out and gave suggestions, and a special thanks to Phillip for sending me manual.

Yes that does help.

So do you have a new coil and it works as it should or are you in search for one.

I started reading this post, thinking gotta be ignition related. Continued reading all the great suggestions, and then got to end happy you found the problem. Were you able to locate a replacement coil easily?

Yep, no problem, however I replaced it, and it didnt change anything. Turns out it is the CDI box actually. I checked the resistance from the pulse generators and they were within spec.
