sensors read wrong
or fuel pressure low
or injectors partially clogged.
gee most MC sit 90%of the time, parked in garage until spring
and the bad fuel takes its TOLL.
see it 100s of times, endless ,same with RVs ,.ATVs etc for same reasons. bad fuel effects.
flat spot is not spark, its fuel, spark is violent when bad,misfires .
so fuel it is , focus on fuel
1 ;bad fuel then filters a mess. the

The valve lash adjustments on these bikes are done with shims on a COLD engine. Intake valves 0.15-0.20 Exhaust valves 0.22-.0.27 Check the specs on your emissions sticker to confirm...California bikes are subject to change. If you are not familiar with timing marks and adjustment procedures, i recommend you buy the manual and follow the steps outlined, the illustrations are also a big help. Good luck, i hope this helps.
It's quite common for fairings to be held together with push in rubber grommets and also slots and tabs between fairing pieces. There is also a newer kind of snap connector which looks and works kind of like velcro except that it snaps open and closed, there is no "half way" on these ones, they are either holding together or not.
I'm not familiar with your model or which fairing you are taking off but I have 2 kawasakis myself from similar era. The belly pan panels need to be split (usually connected together with plastic plugs rather than screws), then rotated to free them up so they slide off from the side panels. My tank side panels had a combination of screw, rubber grommet and "velcro." The trick is to be gentle as it's easy to break the damn things. Only the "velcro" one needs a bit of strength as they really do snap on and off.
A service manual is a valuable tool with an aging bike. I suggest the
dealer/mfr. or Clymer books. In the meantime, go to the library
reference section...646 stacks should have what you need.
