Bike problem

Last couple of days my bike has been hesitating when I crack the throttle under load. Not all the time, but occasionally. Especially when I go to pass is a good example. It will miss a beat or two, backfire and then get with the program. Seems like it's just one cylinder. V twin, carburated and not modified. Any ideas?

Only the exhaust and that's been on there for a long time. So nothing has been done that would cause it.

Don't know. I'm going to replace the plugs and if that doesn't do it have the carbs looked at. I don't mess with those.
