Pull the spark plugs and let me know what color they are. Also, what pipes are you running? Are they drag pipes?
Mike

The spark plugs are a light brown and I have screaming eagle mufflers that I drilled out the angled piece of metal so that you can see straight through them.  Otherwise there is no other modifications.

Answer
Your problem is from not having enough back pressue on the exhaust system. Once you took the baffles out that stopped the back pressure. Also, when doing this you lose HP. It hurts the low end and midrange. Install the baffles back and that will solve the problem
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
