Check the CDI

Check the gas tank vent hose. If you shut the bike off and it runs fine after the thing sits a few minutes, it could be it. Try riding it and when it starts to sputter, loosen the gas cap. If it picks right up and runs better, check the vents.

Just my 2 cents

It aint got no mods except a redneck racing muffler.
( The muffler has holes drilled in it, it's loud as ****)

It sounds like you are running lean because of the exhaust being "modded" I would either rejet or put another stock pipe. You are most likely losing power from your "redneck" mod anyhow.

Yes you need richer jetting. I'm assuming you're still stock jetting.
