My bike would be running well--then would lose 2 cylinders... Later, after it cooled down, all four would fire--until the bike got warm... Then it would only run on 2. It ended up being the pickup coils... One would fail under heat after the bike warmed up...
If you are losing cylinders 1 and 4, or 2 and 3, then check your pickup coils...
