What kind of tune is on it? Are you running colder spark plugs? (NGK-BKR7E) I would say it's the tune.

sounds like the spark blowing out-

you should be running colder plugs
and reduce the gap to the factory minimum, or find plugs that are properly pre-gapped
Denso makes nice iridium plugs with gaps on the smaller side

You need a tune or either re-tune, because it's breaking up.
