I have a 85 700 virago and here is its issue.
Start it cold runs perfect
in 2 mins one cylinder stops working.
In 5 mins at 3000 rms or better starts working.
No loss of power when both cylinders are working, no smoke, no vaulve clicking.
New plugs.
I am thinking bad coil, any other thoughts?

I'm thinking bad coil as well.

I have a 1985 Virago 700 with 80,000 miles on it, and my motorcycle is a ratbike that should have been scrapped long ago.
Another thing to check is the oil level. When my motorcycle is overfilled, then the rear cylinder will cut out, much as you've described... but it'll randomly cut out then back in. So check your oil level and if it's too high, let some out.

Yup, probably the coil, but also check the wire going to that plug. If it's an original wire, then there could be a small break which could give you the same symptoms.

Possible bad coil or maybe CDI exciter coil.
