could be ya ignition leads breaking down. But if it is defintaly 2 cylinders its only running on id like to bet that its either the two inner or two outer cylinders, suggesting one of your ignition coils are on thier way out. May even just be one of the small connectors come off.

If you hold the bike flat out and it starts to bang then it is the coils
Look for a good bypass and just open it up.

Is it when the bike is warm have a look at the temperture gauge

Have you changed any thing end can or where you buy your fuel look for the simple answer first

We have had coils go down before it is like having a flat battery or jetting problems most of the time at the top end of the rev range

Keep us posted
