has it been sitting up for extended periods of time?

if so, the problem may be that your carbs are gummed up by the ethanol that is in almost all fuel now. Try running some Sea Foam through it, use more than called for, maybe a couple of tanks of fuel, to try to clean it up. If that does not work you probably want to take it to a mechanic.

Not nearly enough information!

Rob,

Your question is a bit cryptic and needs far more of an explanation of what you mean. When you say, "Throttling" are you referring to accelerating or decelerating? When you're saying "misfiring" what kind of sound are you hearing? Please give a more complete and concise explanation of exactly what's occurring and perhaps I can provide some ideas based on my own experiences, albeit not with that particular bike.
