Check your carb boots
Check your exhaust manifold bolts are tight and there's no leak there......

Its definitely misfiring with the spits. But like I said, it quits once the bike is warmed up.

Thanks Shadow! Well, a few months ago I was one of the millions that became jobless and since I didnt have a computer at home, i wasnt able to surf the net.

Then, I bought an FZ 1 and have joined their forum and have been letting my sweet baby Hurricane rest a little bit. Still love her dearly, but i only ride her about 2 days a week now.

It mainly does it when the ambient temps are cool and the engine is cold. On a warm days it doesnt it, regardless of engine temp.
Please post back and let us know if you figure out what the problem is. I'm experiencing exactly the same thing on my '88 cane.
