PAIR system is a air clean system that recycles some of the fumes & nasty stuff from the cam boxes & sends it back through the air box...Thanks to our Californian chums all US bikes had it fitted...& I suppose to save a bit of money on not having to do two or more different versions we all got lumberd with it... Easy enough to take off & hurl in the nearset bin... Either buy a PAIR deleat kit... viewtopic.php?f=38&t=42705 ... or flip the valves on the cam covers & cap off all the hoses... or change cam covers for early ones & change the air box base...

Check carb intake rubbers are nice and sealed - same for any exhaust leaks i.e. manifold/header/link pipes. Check vacuum hose isn't split and correctly attached.

And bin the PAIR system :p

I know that coils like to do that at high rpm when they are failing... They will work fine at lower rpm, but as you put more load on them (rpm) they will cause a misfire... but i see you checked that.

Also does sound like it could be a fueling problem... Most petcocks have a screen filter inside the tank that can get clogged up..or the diaphram doesnt work. its happened to me twice on different bikes with the exact same symptoms.

Have you changed the cct's lately?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
