Default Running rough

I've got this annoying problem where after about 10 minutes of riding my bike starts missing and runnning badly. It's only started happeneing recently

Anyone had a similar problem???

As a long shot I thought it might be a PCIII map issueand I loaded the Dynojet map for the same setup as mine(but with big radius not sideshots like mine). Comparing it to what was on the bike the new map is richer across the range. I'm also gonna up the zero throttle setting to address decel popping though. IT did seem to run a little better initially but then the same problem happened.

Guess I'll be heading to the mech next week.

Have you checked your plugs? Possibly got some bad gas? Also sounds like it could be related to a heat issue - have seen a bad/loose connection act up once the engine warms up, but doesn't happen when cold. Start with the simple things first.

Thanks Chipstah.
I Checked the plugs and they looked OK, although I didn't measure the gap. Had a few fills from different gas stations and the problem remains.

I agree that it could be a loose connection, and have had a first look but nothing obvious was loose.
