This is kind of a last ditch approach, but take off the seat & start your bike. Run it around the yard/street, whatever, until it starts getting jiggy again. Shut it down & pour a bucket of ice water over the CDI box. Wait a few seconds, then see if it helps the situation. Don't let the water run into the airbox. Once had a Boss Mustang with a Mallory CDI ignition (back in the day), and when the box went bad it did just what you're describing. Would barely start, then puke/sputter/backfire, etc. - ran like it had no compression.
BTW, this thread is more evidence this board is the best thing on the 'net. :cool:
