You may well be right about the TCI, but it might be worth running a 
small amount of Seafoam or MMO through a couple tanks of fuel just be 
sure that a small bot of gew isn't messing with carbuation.
FWIW.

like a bat out of Hades.  As the bike heats up, the point where it 
gets
power drops, until the point where its more like a hesitation when 
you open
the throttle.
 
I have grounded the Voltage regulator, and made sure the carb vent 
tubes are
Clear.  Any other ideas on what to try?  I have a bad feeling its the 
TCI,
And that's pricey.
