Maybe check to see if you have a loose wire coming from the coil hitting a ground somewhere. Ihad an old sporty that did that and I found coil wire hitting the bottom of the gas tank

my 03 sporty has started doing the same thing, pops, sputters and runs rough between 1st and 2nd. Also stalls while riding, just dies.
