Do one at a time so parts are not mixed.The NGK sparkplug caps contain a resistor that with time fails creating a weak spark.
Another place to look is the primary(small wires) side of the ignition coils. They should read battery voltage is the battery is fully charged.
If the voltage is down to 7-8 volts, your bike suffers from corrosion in the wiring or in the electrical connectors.
The website www.wgcarbs.com lists parts and how to do this simple ignition bypass using a relay.
More than a few riders here have done this to their bikes witha great improvement in starting and combustion efficiencies.

If not already done, would also assure correct valve clearances.
Good Luck!
Amen, I second this suggestion!
I hate to do valve clearances!:blink:
