Shifting Fork may be bent or wore out, It also may be the Synchronizer that "holds" it in gear went bad. The Gear could be wore out or Warpped also.

Sounds like a lean condition. Spark plug should be a tan brown.
I would say the carb probably wasn't drained prior to storage and your main jet is gummed up. Gas deteriorates very quickly especially in vented containers like the float bowl of a carb.
clean your carb for sure.

SOURCE: won't accelerate in 4th gear

there is so many things that could cause what you are going through. the first thing i would do i check the clutch. it is where most problems with the tranny start and then you will get so a hole at the shop telling you that your tranny is bad when all that was wrong is the clutch being out of adjustment. take it to a shop you trust and have them check the clutch. it is a cheap process and does not take long to do at all. if it needs adjusting then you will be done and out without having to spend too much at all. if its more then you will be able to find out there. first thought though is the clutch.

it will be down to adjustment, there are 2 ways to adjust one close to the engine casing and one at the lever just have to get a good balance :)

This issue is common on some bikes because of the new emission laws. They tend to run to lean at certain revs to meet the new emission rules. Fitting a power commander will stop the fuel system leaning out.

My 1989 VT1100 jumps out of 3rd gear?

A broken gear will make a clicking noise each revolution of the gear. It will not cause the bike to slip out of gear. The problem sounds like a mildly bent shift fork.
