So for a while my 91 nighthawk was running fine, after riding it for a good 30 miles i noticed how slugish and un responsive it was at take off. Took it home and noticed after burning my hands :/ that all the cylinders except number 2 were hot. Checked spark and everything is alright.
Could this be an issue with carbs or compression?
 
Btw i am mechanicaly inclined and i'm currently rebuilding a gm v6, but im a complete newb on 4 banger bikes. Fyi im only 17 ;)
 
Had a similar problem with mine. Ran great but after about 15 miles it got sluggish. I found a small amount of sediment in the carb bowls. My guess is that riding it over bumps stirred up the sediment and clogged the jets. After a thorough cleaning it runs fine now.
