I have a 1999 Buell M2 with a borla exhaust and a performance ignition. Whenever I start the bike it only runs on one cylinder until it fully warms up. Sometimes its on the front cylinder and sometimes on the rear. Which ever cylinder isn't firing I'll take the spark plug cap off and hold it slightly above the spark plug while the engine is running. While i do this the bike begins to run on both cylinders and you can see the spark arcing from the cap to the plug. After holding the cap above the plug and giving it small amounts of gas for a few seconds I can put the plug cap back on the spark plug and It will run fine. I have replaced the plugs and wires and it has not helped. Is the ignition or the chip messed up? Please Help!!!!!
Thanks

Buell guy first off theres no chips for an m2.Second do you own a service manual if not buy one.Third if you have the stock ignition put it back in and see if that helped.If not check coil if that is not it you definitly have a carb problem.
