Went to ride the bike a couple days ago. As soon as the bike started it was sputtering. As I rode it for a couple mins at maybe 20km/hr it was a jerky/shaky ride.
It was reminiscent of how my car felt when one of the spark plugs had gone bad (although the bike was more muted).
So I parked the bike and ordered spark plugs. Today I replaced all four spark plugs and the problem is still there. Btw, the spark plugs I took out were all in decent condition.
Now, I am thinking the ignition coil(s) may have gone bad. Coils are expensive and even if I order them online, they won't arrive for another week or more. So is there something else that could cause the problem I described? Something else I should test that would produce similar symptoms?
