97 Virago 1100 will start and idle. No highway speed.

97 Virago 1100 will start and idle. Seems ok around town. Get up to highway speeds and it starts to sputter and die. Will end up stalling. Then I restart (using the choke), and it will go for a few minutes before repeating the same thing. Possible dirty fuel filter?

Idle not responding when coming to stop after highway speeds , seems to stick at 2000 rpm and transmission stays engaged . heavy break wear fighting against power train.
The idle air control solenoid is very common to quit working. The only other thing would be a large vacuum leak.

To me it sounds like the coil is breaking down and not working at higher RPM's. You can take them off and have them tested at a service shop.
