Re: bike is coughing
Check for an intake leak first. Timing & plug condition; you could switch cylinders with the plugs and see if it goes to the other cylinder or not.
If all those check out ok, it could be a valve lash if you have mechanicals, and a lifter if hydraulic. Exhaust side.
Long shot, but the ethanol has caused some valve stems to gum up: perhaps one could be sticking occasionally.

There also could be something in the Main jet that you cant see. It is hard to see, I have missed crap in them before, easy to do.
