'00 M750, knowledge of possible upgrades required.

  This is all very true, and would typically be of certain concern to me, however I just had the carbs rebuilt and sycronized two weeks ago (3 days before leaving for Indy).  I had put new plugs in it, and it ran awsome until I got roughly half way down there (it started missing slightly).  By the time I got there it was missing terribly.  I picked up a new set of plugs, rear cylinder was completely fouled.  I checked the spark, and the front cylinder was nice and blue, the rear cylinder was a faint orange.  With new plugs, it ran pretty good most of the way home, and started to hiccup about 100 miles from home.
  I am fairly certain that it is either the coil or wire (couldn't get the wire out to test the resistance).  In order to eliminate all ignition problems, I just ordered two new coils, wires, and the wiring harness.  (I got a really good deal from a Ducati technician).  Short of replacing the ignitor box, that should cover all possible issues, and should leave me with a spare "good" coil (assuming the coil is in fact the issue).  I will update when I recieve them and get them istalled. 

aahhh.  I see.  Cool.  Sounds like you've got it well in hand then.

Update on coils...  All is good now.  The new coils didn't have wires that were epoxied, so I changed them out with a set of accel super stock 8mm wires (really tight squeeze, but I was able to make them fit).  This gave me the ability to use the cap style spark plugs instead of the original screw top plugs.  I then replaced the original DCPR8E plugs with the DCPR8EIX Irridium plugs.  Don't know for sure that they did anything for performance gains, but I already had them, so I figured why not.  Bike is running great now, bad thing is the weather has kept me from riding much since the swap .  I'm sure there are at least a few good days left.  Hopefully I won't have to pick the kids up, and will actually be able to ride a couple of them.   Thanks guys!
