After being hot, it started to backfire from both exausts. A real challenge was to drive off the traffic light. It started sputtering. But in higher rpm it was ok.
The bike is already out of waranty. It has 8000 km. And I suspect it is CDI (s**t). Because I have already tried to change all coils with new one one by another and it didnt helped. When is running on two cyliners and backfiring I can notice all lights geting a little down and back to normal.

This bike is a real *****.

Reading this and your other posts it really does sound like carburation rather than fuel to me. Have you cleaned and balanced the carbs? Have you checked the overall mixture and are all 3 carbs mixture screws set to the same number of turns?

Correct me because I wrong...

:flam:
I would not suspect the Igniter when the engine's high RPM's are fine. If the Igniter is bad the performance should remain poor or degrade as the demands on it increase. :flam:

Am I understanding your post the lights are dimming and returning to normal as this is happening? If so check the battery first. alternator (brushes ) second.
according to jimmyj900(1 1/2 Cylinder triple ???? Ignition Problem....):

I'd take a close look at the battery first thing since the igniters and coils can be sensitive to system voltage.
