Some water in the gas and/or a blocked restricted fuel filter. Definatially bad gas will do this, but don't forget the fuel filter too.
A couple cans of sea foam will help alot but it being a Gold Wing eeks.. I'd drain the gas as much as you can and get fresh! The sea foam won't hurt it though. but might not still run perfect.
Safe riding! Can't even think about it with -10.

Sounds like the fuel supply is inadequate. Check for a plugged fuel filter, or possibly the fuel pump is losing pressure. I had a 93 Chevy V6 that acted the same way, and after checking everything else I replaced the fuel pump, which solved the problem.

SOURCE: My 1995 Plymouth Voyager loses power, surges and backfires.

My first instinct tells me timing chain or belt, but it could be a vacuum line loose, cracked or disconnected. Using a stethoscope, or a length of gasline hose held to your ear, and with the engine running, listen for a hissing sound. Be sure and wiggle all the hoses you can. You might make one hiss. If you don't find anything, get a timing light, and check your timing marks. They should stay in basically one spot. If it's jumping around a lot, you need a new timing chain or belt. Good luck.

SOURCE: bogs down

Even though this is an old post i feel it needs an answer since there is 225 followers wanting an answer. This situation sounds as if this vehicle is either suffering from the Throttle Position Sensor switch which has bad spots in it causing lack of voltage or the Fuel rail pressure regulator which can not keep the fuel pressure built up in the fuel rail making the auto veel like it is running out of fuel.And the transmission speed densor which also controls fuel. The situations for each device has a test that can be done to determine which one it is. And last but not least lets never forget our fuel filter this can cause the exact same problem. I am eliminating the cam sensor because it stabilizes at idle. Eliminating the crank sensor because it too at idle also stabilizes and returns a smooth idle. So a fueling problem is what we have here one of the above. Enjoy and if you need help determining which one just ask me I will help you figure it out. Please rate my advise thanks it is how i receive my achievements.

1999 dodge ram 1500 5.9 runs for a couple mins the starts backfiring and losing power

Hook up a fuel pressure and see what your pressure is when you start running bad. If it drops down you have a bad pump of line restriction or fuel regulator.

You might not be getting the fuel you need.
Check the fuel pressure under load.
Check the linkage for sticking at high throttle.
Check the fuel filter
Check your Vacuum advance to be sure it is advancing the distributor correctly

Hello when i crank my truck up it will sputter then while i'm driving at speeds of 20 to 35 mph it starts to backfire with a little lose of power. after i've put 3 different carbs , figuring that was the...

Backfiring is a timing problem. It happens when one of the cylinders fires while one of the valves is still open. Your timing should advance as the rpm's increase. Carburated vehicle have what's called vaccum advance and if that vaccum advance line is disconnected it will cause what you describe. There should be a vaccum line that connects from the carb to the distributor that controls your vaccum advance. The sputtering at idle is also probably a symptom of a disconnected vaccum line.
