Anybody who read my last post that I just deleted, ignore it, I'm an idiot!

Took the bike out for a proper test ride after adjusting the chain tension and properly lubing it and the problem is still there.

It sounds like the engine is bogging down, the bike feels like it just stops accelerating momentarily, and I hear a low pop from the exhaust. It also happens far more frequently when the engine is labouring, so when accelerating from low revs it is worst but it is much smoother if I'm over about 6.5k rpm, I can still feel it stuttering but it feels less severe.

Am I right in thinking it sounds like it is misfiring as to me that would explain why it is smoother at higher revs?

I will get the spark plugs out tomorrow and check them as in my mind they seem like the most obvious cause of this problem, but I may well be wrong.
