Default Electrical and/or engine problem??

Hi all. Lately my bikes been acting weird.
Friday, it backfired a little and made the bike hop forward like a jolt of fuel was put into it when i was engaging the clutch. Tonight, the engine did the same thing once, then shut off randomly once. Both when I was engaging the clutch to downshift. Also, the tach light seems to dim every once and a while, as does the headlight. Anyone have any ideas? Also, sometimes the gas skips a beat and makes the bike feel like im running out of gas even though I'm not.
Any ideas would be superb, thanks!
