So what have you done about this so far?  What have you ruled out?

Also, is the bike still in stock condition? If not, what was changed?

Just throwing this out there, but how long have you had the bike and have you checked the air filter? I had the same problem some years ago and over the winter chipmunks, mice or squirrels built a nest on my air filter. Changed out the filter and good to go. Not saying that's your problem, but it's worth checking.

Thanks dragonRdr for that info I did find a large mouse nest in my airbox hopefully this solves the problem of it running rough when I put a load on it

You're welcome, glad it was helpful. I also put a can of Berrymans B12 in a fresh tank of gas to help clean out the fuel system.

No mouse nest but 1/2 can of Seafoam to fresh 5 gallon of 87 cured my sluggish high speed circuit after 125 mi./25 mpg maiden voyage. Took about 2 mi. down the road and all was good. Found out quickly why Dragon nickname exists.  ;D
