I have 96 VMax with 23,000 miles and no modifications. My problem is after the bike warms up and i take off, it seems to lose a cylinder randomly. it will surge and pop out the exhaust and in to the air box. but after about 5 miles it goes away. then every once in a while it will pop in the airbox as im bliping the throttle while down shifting. while replacing the plugs and wires, the left rear plug was foweled out. after replacing the plugs and wires, the problem went away for about 3 days and then it came back. i checked the plugs again and they were perfectly fine. I have read a few posts about simmiler problems but they seem to be related to modified exhaust systems and intake boots being torn. ive checked the exhaust system and it has no leaks and the intake boots are not damaged. any help or a point in a direction to look would be greatly appreciated.

Did you sync the carbs? With 23,000 miles, probably due for a cleaning.
