I can't find mention of a tuner (like FP3, etc) on your bike. If it has one, you could see what the front and rear mixtures are at that no-load RPM where you're getting the miss.
If you're getting no miss at idle and under power, and all other conditions except that no-load one, you can eliminate plug wires, coils, fuel pressure and TPS.
Can your tuner module do an autoTune?

It has a PCIII on it and was tuned on a Dyno but that put a load on it which makes it run ok. Its the no load part where it runs bad. Also noticed when I took off to test ride it cold it missed and bucked then took off when I rolled on the throttle harder.

Put your money back in your wallet! I found a fix on my bike. Didn't cost anything and took 5 minutes. For $29.99 I'll tell you. No just kidding. Found my throttle cables had a lot of play in them. Tightened up the return cable to take out the slack and.... wow, what a difference!!!! No more misses at no load. I think the the throttle plate was shaking with the engine vibrations. The bike just runs better now.
Hope this helps.
